What happens when light energy reflects?

The energy, or photon, is absorbed by the molecules on the boundary of the reflecting material from the direction of propagation of the light source. Then the energy is re-emitted in all directions by the molecules. But the next layer of molecules in the medium absorbs the light going into the material and the light exiting the material is the re-emission of the light wave; aka reflection.
