Bouncing back of a light ray after hitting any surface is known as reflection.
Definitions:
a) Incident ray: The ray of light which falls on the surface is called incident ray.
b) Reflected ray: The ray of light which is sent back by the reflecting surface is called reflected ray.
c) Point of incidence: The point where the incident ray strikes the surface is known as point of incidence.
d) Normal: The perpendicular line drawn onto the surface at the point of incidence is called normal.
e) Angle of incidence: The angle made by the incident ray with the normal at the point of incidence is called angle of incidence.
f) Angle of reflection: The angle made by the reflected ray with the normal at the point of incidence is called angle of reflection.
