Refraction
Reflecting?
The bouncing of waves off a surface is called reflection. When a wave encounters a boundary or surface, it can bounce back depending on the angle of incidence and the properties of the surface it's hitting.
A metaphor for bouncing could be "a rubber ball rebounding off a hard surface."
The bouncing of light off a surface is called reflection. When a light wave is bent it is called refraction.
It is called reflection when light changes direction as a result of bouncing off a surface like a mirror.

The bouncing of a sound wave off a surface may result in an echo being heard.

"Bounce off" means the same as "reflect" in this context.

A light ray bouncing off the surface of an object is called reflection. When light hits a surface, it can either be absorbed, transmitted, or reflected. Reflection is when the light ray bounces off the surface at the same angle it hit the surface.
A reflection is the bouncing back of sound waves off a surface, while an echo is the repetition of sound caused by the reflection off a distant surface. So, a reflection can contribute to creating an echo by bouncing sound waves off a surface, leading to the perception of a repeated sound.
