Light bouncing off a mirror is reflected. Reflection is when the light bounces off a shiny surface back to your eye while refraction is when the light changes direction when passing from one medium to another medium of different optical density.

When light travels through a pair of eyeglasses is it reflected or refracted?
Refracted. Light passing through is refracted, light bouncing off of is reflected.
What is the difference between reflected rays of light and refracted rays?
When a beam of light hits a mirror and bounces off, it is reflected. When light is refracted it means the light penetrates into a substance and changes the direction of its movement.
Is production of rainbow light reflected or refracted?
A reflected light would be light reflected by a mirror, and the light would remain unchanged. A reflected light of daylight is when white light is split into 'rainbow' colours.
Does a mirror work due to refracted light?
mirror works with the phenomenon of reflection but not the phenomenon of refraction .when the light rays are reflected only the image is formed .
How light is reflected and refracted in a diamond?
Light is reflected and refracted in a diamond based on the angles of its facets relative to the source of the light.

How do we see images in a mirror?
Light 'bouncing' off the subject is reflected back by the mirror.
What is the difference between reflected rays of light and refracted rays?
When a beam of light hits a mirror and bounces off, it is reflected. When light is refracted it means the light penetrates into a substance and changes the direction of its movement.
What is happening to light when it is being reflected?
The light bends. Depending on whether it is a concave or convex mirror, the light is either being refracted or reflected

How will you compare prism to raindrops?

What is an example of an everyday object that does not work due to refracted light a-camera c- microscope b-telescope d-mirror c-c?
d, the mirror (it works by reflected light).
When light goes through a camera lens is it reflected or refracted?
It would be refracted.
What is a copy of an object formed by reflected or refracted rays of light?
An image is a copy of an object fromed by reflected (or refracted) rays of light.
What happens to light when it is reflected refracted transmitted and absorbed by matter.?
The last person who wrote this answer was a nimrod and a moron. Okay, so the answer to your question is that light is interacting with the object and/or matter by scattering and bouncing off of it/them.
