When light bounces off something, it is reflected.
A regular reflection.
Reflectivity isn't a property of light, it's a property of the surface that reflects the light. It is the proportion of the energy in an incoming light beam which when it hits the surface is reflected rather than absorbed.
In color? The reflected light is the color in the visible spectrum that you see, the absorbed colors are not seen.Improved Answer:Reflection occurs when light hits a smooth, shiny surface; where as, absorption takes places when light hits a rough surface which absorbs the light.
reflection is when light its something like a mirror and refraction is light going through something solid that is not like a mirror when light falls on a surface and bounces back, it is reflection and when light is absorbed by the surface or passes through the surface but does not bounces back, it is refraction.
Specular reflection occurs when light bounces off of a smooth surface such as a mirror!
Specular reflection
The light will be absorbed and reflected unevenly.
Reflection is when light bounces off an object. If the surface is smooth and shiny, like glass, water or polished metal, the light will reflect at the same angle as it hit the surface. This is called specular reflection.
Specular Reflection
diffuse reflection
There are 2 kinds of angle that lets reflection to occur the angle of incidence- it is the light going to flat or smooth surface the angle of reflection- where in the bouncing back of light occurs the angle of incidence and angle of reflection usually have the equal measure
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
Regular
Light reflections off of a smooth surface are considered to be spectral. Light reflections off of rough surfaces are considered to be diffuse
