What is reflection?
Q: What is reflection?
A: Reflection is the change in direction of a wave at a boundary between two different media, so that the wave moves back into the medium it came from.
Q: What are some common examples of reflection?
A: Common examples of reflection include light, sound and water waves.
Q: What is specular reflection?
A: Specular reflection is a mirror-like reflection of light from a surface, in which light from a single incoming direction is reflected into a single outgoing direction.
Q: How does the law of reflection work?
A: The law of reflection states that when light reflects off an object, both angles (the angle of incidence and angle of reflectance) must be equal.
Q: What are some things people make to use reflections?
A: People make many things to use reflections including reflecting telescopes, radar, sonar, lidar and putting light reflectors on objects they want to see.
