Question

The phenomenon in which light that strikes a surface is thrown back into the same medium is called -

• A. reflection
• B. reflex action
• C. refraction
• D. regression

Answer 1

The correct option is A reflection

$Reflection$ is the phenomenon in which light rays on striking a polished surface(such as a mirror) bounce back or are sent back into the same medium.

A $Reflexaction$ is an involuntary and nearly instantaneous movement in response to a stimulus.

$Refraction$ of light is the phenomenon of bending of light or change in the direction of light, when it passes obliquely from one transparent medium to another.
$Regression$ is a technique for determining the statistical relationship between two or more variables where a change in a dependent variable depends on the change in one or more independent variables.

Hence, the correct answer is OPTION A.
