I believe you want to ask: what are the so-called "bounced-off" rays of light called? If so, the simplest answer would be: "reflections".

What are refractive and reflective?

refraction is the bending of light rays when they pass through an object reflection is the light energy that bounces off objects


What does the word reflection mean When light hits a mirror and bounes reflection Off in a different direction sample mirror We see objects when they reflect light rays into our eyes?

Reflection is when light hits something and bounces back off.

What is the difference between reflected rays of light and refracted rays?

When a beam of light hits a mirror and bounces off, it is reflected. When light is refracted it means the light penetrates into a substance and changes the direction of its movement.

What is refletion and rerfrction in light?

reflection of light is when light bounces off an object, particularly a mirror (or something like that). refraction is the bending of light rays, when light rays flow through a substance (particularly curved). Ex: a straw looks at an angle when put into water, when it's really just the light rays bending.


Which surface are light rays reflected?

Any opaque or translucent surface will reflect light rays. The rays that are reflected are the one that you see- something blue would reflect blue light. IF the object is Opaque the rest of the light is absorbed. If it is translucent some light is absorbed while some passes through. Black objects absorb all colours of light while white objects reflects all colours of light. There are also some special objects such as mirrors that are highly reflective a produce an image by reflecting back the rays of light emitted from other objects.


Why are we able to see objects?

light rays are reflected off the object
