Reflection is the bouncing of light off an object,when light falls on the object.
The laws of reflection :
The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
The incident ray , the reflected ray and the normal at the point of incidence all lie on the same plane.
There are two types of reflection :
Regular reflection ---- a parallel beam of light is reflected as a parallel beam in the same direction to form clear images,occurs on smooth surfaces.
Diffused reflection ----- a parallel beam of light is reflected in different directions without forming any image,occurs on rough surfaces.
