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.
bounces off a surface at an equal angle to the incident angle. This process can result in a change in the direction of the light.
Reflection is the ability of a program to examine and modify its structure and behavior at runtime. For example, in Java, you can use reflection to access private fields or methods of a class, or to dynamically create new objects based on class names provided at runtime. Reflection is a powerful tool but should be used judiciously due to potential performance overhead and security risks.
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
When light waves bounce off matter, it is called reflection. This happens when light waves hit a smooth and shiny surface, causing them to bounce off at the same angle they hit the surface.
When light waves hit a mirror, they bounce off at the same angle they hit the mirror's surface. This process, known as reflection, allows the light waves to maintain their original image as they bounce off the mirror and into your eyes. Your brain interprets the light waves that reach your eyes as an image, enabling you to see your reflection in the mirror.
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.
