Reflection is the change in the direction of propagation of a wave that strikes a boundary between different media through which it cannot pass.
When a wave strikes such a boundary it bounces back, or is reflected, just as a ball bounces off the floor. The angle of incidence is the angle between the path of the wave and a line perpendicular to the boundary. The angle of reflection is the angle between the same line and the path of the reflected wave. All reflected waves obey the law of reflection, which states that the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. The reflectivity of a material is the fraction of energy of the oncoming wave that is reflected by it.

A reflecting telescope "Has a mirror that collects light which is reflected to the eyepiece to show the image".
The phenomena of sending back of light is called reflection of light. And the surfaces which reflects light back are called reflecting surfaces.

Refracting
When an object is radiating light, it means that the object produces light. When an object is reflecting light, it means that light "bounces off" the surface of that object.
Light is radiated from the Sun, the Moon and the Earth. Radiation is a "shining out" from whatever is making the light. When we see the Moon we are seeing it because the Sun has radiated light out into space and some of it has lit up the Moon, which then reflects the moonlight to Earth. Light is reflected best by smooth and shiny materials such as plain glass or mirror glass.
A radiating light refers to light rays emanating or extending outward from a central source in various directions. It creates a pattern where light spreads outwards like rays from the sun or a spotlight.

Giving off is emitting it and reflecting light is reflecting it
The sun is steadily radiating light due to nuclear fusion reactions occurring in its core. This process releases energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, including light, that is continuously emitted into space.

The bouncing of light is the reflecting.
The cancer was caused by excessive nuclear radiation exposure. Some members of the military may have been exposed to high levels of radiation.
The reflecting telescope deals with light. It uses mirrors to gather and focus incoming light from distant celestial objects for observation. Sound waves are not used in reflecting telescopes.
