reflection
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.
The bouncing of light off a surface is called reflection. When a light wave is bent it is called refraction.
Reflecting?
When light bounces off a surface, that is called reflection.
The light hits the mirror causing it to go off in its opposite direction. Its reflecting off off the mirror because of the particles inside of the mirror
Light 'bouncing' off the subject is reflected back by the mirror.
No. It's just light bouncing off of objects, then the mirror, then into your eyes.

Light is coming from the light bulb and bouncing off of you. Some of the light that bounces off of you, bounces off the mirror and back into your eyes. The light bounces off the mirror is such a way that your eyes think that the light is coming from a person that is on the opposite side of the mirror. That is to say your eyes and your brain think that the light is coming directly from an object instead of bouncing off a mirror. At the risk of getting technical, the reason is that the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence. Go to the Related Links below this window if you want to know more.
You may be looking for reflection or refraction.Reflection is the phenomenon of light bouncing off an object; refraction is the phenomenon of light bouncing around inside a gemstone, for example, and then bouncing back to the eye of the beholder.

the reason a far object looks small is because of the light bouncing off of that object. only the light waves bouncing off and comming directly to your eye will you see. there is much more light being reflected from that object but because of your distance from it the majority of the light waves have traveled in other directions. ( here is a thought experiment ) if you had a 1foot by 1foot mirror and you were standing 100 feet in front of it, if you shined a flashlight directly at the mirror would the light be the same brightness when it is reflected back.
