Reflection occurs when light waves bounce off a surface and return in the opposite direction. In a sketch, you can show this by drawing a light ray coming in at an angle to the surface and then bouncing off it at an equal angle on the other side of the normal line. The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection according to the law of reflection.

What is the different between a reflection on mirror and water?
Reflection from water will occur only beyond the critical angle between air and water. Reflection from a mirror will occur at all angles.
How reflection occur?
reflection occurs when you look in a mirror and light bounces off of the mirrror and it comes back and you can see your reflection
Does the process of reflection of light occur in plastics?
yes
What necessary for reflection to occur?
a light source and a reflector
What are shadows and reflections and explain with sketches?
Shadows are dark areas created when an object blocks light, while reflections occur when light bounces off a surface at an equal angle to the incident angle. Shadows can have different shapes and sizes depending on the light source and object, while reflections mirror the shape and color of the object reflecting the light. Sketches can visually represent these phenomena by showing the object, light source, shadow, and reflection in a simple and clear manner.
What will happen if the angle of incidence is bigger than the critical angle?
A complete reflection will occur
When will reflection and refraction occur simultaneously?
Reflection and refraction occur simultaneously when a light ray encounters a boundary between two different mediums at a specific angle known as the Brewster's angle. At this angle, the reflected and refracted rays are perpendicular to each other, allowing both phenomena to occur simultaneously.
Can total internal reflection occur in iron substances?
Total internal reflection typically occurs in materials with a higher refractive index than air, such as glass or water. Iron, being a metal, has a lower refractive index than air, so total internal reflection is not likely to occur in iron substances.
Does specular reflection occur when it hits a dull surface?
No, specular reflection occurs when light hits a smooth and shiny surface, such as a mirror. On the other hand, dull surfaces scatter light in different directions, which is known as diffuse reflection.
How do sound waves reflection occur and what factors influence the reflection of sound waves?
Sound wave reflection occurs when a sound wave hits a surface and bounces back. The factors that influence the reflection of sound waves include the angle of incidence, the nature of the surface, and the frequency of the sound wave.
What is the plural of the sketch?
The plural of sketch is sketches.
Does regular reflection takes place on a rough surface?
Yes, regular reflection can occur on a rough surface if the irregularities on the rough surface are smaller than the wavelength of the incident light. In this case, the light waves reflect in a more scattered manner, as opposed to the organized reflection seen on a smooth surface.
