when the light strikes against a smooth/shining/polished surface and moves in other direction.This is called 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.
