Introduction to Reflection of Light

Science > Physics > Optics > Reflection of Light > Introduction to Reflection of Light When a ray of light approaches a smooth polished surface and the light ray bounces back, it is called the reflection of light. The surface which reflects the light is called a reflecting surface. The ray of light approaching the […]
