3. Reflection of light
● Reflection of light is phenomenon of bouncing back of light in same
medium on striking the surface of any objects [Defination].
● Every object is capable of and reflects light.We classify objects in 3 types
- Opaque, Translucent and Transparent.
● Opaque - The objects that do not allow light to pass through them.
● Translucent - The objects that allow light to pass through them but not
completely.
● Transparent - The objects that completely allow light to pass through
them.
4. Reflection of light
There exist 3 laws of reflection of light.
1. Angle of incidence = Angle of reflection
2. Incident ray, normal, point of incidence and reflected ray, all exist in the
same plane.
3. Parallel rays of light do not intersect.
