Question

What is bouncing of light from the surface called?

Answer 1

Reflection is when light bounces off an object. ... Light reflects from a smooth surface at the same angle as it hits the surface. For a smooth surface, reflected light rays travel in the same direction. This is called specular reflection

Answer 2

Reflection is the bouncing of light from the surface.

• Light is said to be reflected when the angle at which it initially enters a surface equals the angle at which it bounces off the same surface.
• It adheres to the two rules of reflection listed below.

1. The incident ray, the reflected ray, as well as the normal to the mirror's surface are all in the same plane at the point of incidence.
2. The incidence angle and reflection are the same.

• As a result, the answer to the question is 'reflection.'
