Reflection of light is either specular (mirror-like) or diffuse (retaining the energy, but losing the image) depending on the nature of the interface. ... Reflection also occurs at the surface of transparent media, such as water or glass.

Reflection is the change in direction of a wavefront at an interface between two different media so that the wavefront returns into the medium from which it originated.

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.

when light falls on polished surface, it gets bounce back. this is known as reflection

when incident ray travels through same medium on a surface gets reflected in the same medium making angle of incidence = angle of reflection then this phenomenon is known as reflection of light.in short we can say bouncing back of incident rays in the same medium is known as reflection of light

When light falls on a surface it bounces back. This is known as reflection of light. The reflection depends on the nature of the surface. The magnitude of reflection increases with the level of smoothness or polish. When white light falls on a smooth surface like a mirror all the light will reflect...

When light falls on a surface it bounces back. This is known as reflection of light. The reflection depends on the nature of the surface. The magnitude of reflection increases with the level of smoothness or polish. When white light falls on a smooth surface like a mirror all the light will reflect and the intensity will be more. We see different colours of objects because of reflection of light. When sunlight light falls on an object and we see the red couloured object because the object absorbes all other colours and reflects only red. read less

Reflection 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. Diffuse reflection is when light hits an object and reflects in lots of different...

Reflection 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. Diffuse reflection is when light hits an object and reflects in lots of different directions. This happens when the surface is rough. Most of the things we see are because light from a source has reflected off it. read less

Due to surface tendency to not allow light pass through it partly reflects and partly refracts depending on surface refractive index.

Reflection can happen for a couple reasons.Reflection off metals (like a mirror) happens because electrons in the metal happen to be able to match the frequency of the light, so it bounces off. It can also happen because of a change in refractive index.
