Is the law of reflection when light hits a surface at an angle it reflects at the left angle?

The law of reflection states that when an object bounces off a flat surface, the angle it at which it hits the surface will be equal to the angle at which it bounces away.


When light bounces back at the same in which it hit an object?

When light hits an object/surface, it's either reflected, absorbed, or refracted. For light to bounce back, the reflection has to be "specular", like a mirror. So the light bounces back with the same(reflected) image. For light to be reflected back at the source. The light has to hit perpendicular to the surface, which is 90°.

What is a scanning wavelength that can penetrate cloud cover called?

A soccer ball bounces as the air particles in them hit and apply pressure at the ball, when it hits a surface, the pressure from the particles apply a force on the ball. Thus, making it bounce.
