Solution

When light rays hit a surface like a mirror, it bounces back to the same medium like a ball thrown against a wall. This is called the reflection of light.

Activity to show the reflection of light:
Three people are required for this activity. In a dark room or at night, ask one of your friends to hold a mirror in one corner of the room. You and your other friend can stand anywhere in the room. Take a torch and direct a beam of light to the mirror that your friend is holding. Adjust the direction of the torch so that some of the beams of light hit on your friend. This activity shows that the light you directed hits the mirror and bounces back to your friend when positioned properly.
