SSC MTS EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -What is Reflection of Light? Reflection of light (and other forms of electromagnetic radiation) occurs when the waves encounter a surface or other boundary that does not absorb the energy of the radiation and bounces the waves away from the surface.

Detailed explanation-2: -Reflection involves a change in direction of waves when they bounce off a barrier. Refraction of waves involves a change in the direction of waves as they pass from one medium to another. Refraction, or the bending of the path of the waves, is accompanied by a change in speed and wavelength of the waves.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mirrors are very smooth pieces of glass backed by very shiny, highly polished reflective material. Light travels through the glass and then reflects off of the smooth and shiny surface at the back. When you look in a mirror, you see light from your face reflected off of the mirror.
