That means that the light waves rebound, and change direction.
Reflection.
When light waves hit a rough surface they create a diffuse reflection. This means that the waves spread out in different angles.
Refracted light.
In reflection, the light waves travel within the same media and maintains the same speed but in refraction light waves travel through a different media and so their speed changes.
When the light waves strikes an object and bounces off
Reflection is the bouncing back of light waves. Some examples are a mirror, and water. :)
Regular Reflection= Happens when light reflects off a smooth surface. Diffuse Reflection= Happens when light reflects off a rough surface. Reflection= The bouncing of waves, off a surface or and object
It's called "reflection".
The light then reflects off the mirror into the eyes.
The light then reflects off the mirror into the eyes.
Optics deals with light waves, and all waves relate in some way to trigonometry. Also, the reflection and refraction of light involves trigonometry.
