• Reflection is the bouncing back of light rays when they hit a surface that doesn't absorb the energy.

Reflection Science

• When light is reflected off a mirror, there are 2 types of rays, Incident ray and reflected ray

• Incident ray is the type of light wave before in contact of surface

• Reflected ray is a type of ray that's reflected off a surface

• We use a ray diagram to represent the reflection of light

Law Of Reflection

• According to the law of reflection, the angle of incident = the angle of reflection

• The angle of incident = the angle between the incident ray and the normal drawn at the point where the ray hits the surface

• The angle of reflection = the angle between the reflected ray and the normal drawn at the point where the ray hits the surface

Ray Diagrams

• Ray diagrams are visual tools used in optics to demonstrate the path of light and how images are formed by lenses and mirrors
