define reflection of light

Reflection of light: When light falls on a surface, the direction of the ray is changed. This change in direction is known as reflection of light. The reflected light travels to the same medium it came from.At the point of reflection, angle of incidence and angle of reflection are always equal. This is known as law of reflection.

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.
