what is reflection?how does it occurs?
Answers
Answer:
Reflection
The change in direction, or bouncing back of a wave when it strikes a surface.
It is when light bounces off an object. If the surface is smooth and shiny, like glass, water or polished metal, the light will reflect at the same angle as it hit the surface. This is called specular reflection.
Reflection of light (and other forms of electromagnetic radiation) occurs when the waves encounter a surface or other boundary that does not absorb the energy of the radiation and bounces the waves away from the surface. The simplest example of visible light reflection is the surface of a smooth pool of water, where incident light is reflected in an orderly manner to produce a clear image of the scenery surrounding the pool. Throw a rock into the pool, and the water is perturbed to form waves, which disrupt the reflection by scattering the reflected light rays in all directions.
Answer:
The reflection of light is a natural phenomenon which occurs when the waves of the rays of light encounters a boundary or a surface which is not capable of absorbing the particular energy of light and bounces back the waves of light.
