It occurs when a wave which is incident on a surface changes direction.
The wave can flip upside down
bounces off a surface it cannot pass through
When a wave hits an object with properties of not absorbing or diffusing the wave.
bounces off a surface it cannot pass through
A light wave hitting a reflecting surface changes direction. The angel of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
This is called reflection of sound. It's like a sound wave bouncing on a trampoline.
When a wave traversing in a medium of less refractive index gets reflected at a medium of greater refractive index then wave undergoes a phase change of pi radians. But if the same reflection takes place as the wave traverses from a medium of greater refractive index to that of less refractive index, then no such phase change. The later reflection is known as total internal reflection. So as light traversing in air gets reflected at glass then phase change of pi radians occurs.

Reflection of artery is known as a wave reflection.
Reflection occurs when seismic wave bounces backward as it reaches a boundary. It refers to the change in direction of a wave front at an interface between two different media.

The reflection coefficient is used in physics and electrical engineering when wave propagation in a medium containing discontinuities is considered.A reflection coefficient describes the amplitude of a reflected wave relative to that of the incident wave.In telecommunications, the reflection coefficient is the ratio of the amplitude of the reflected wave to the amplitude of the incident wave.
