Optical Reflection

Optical Reflection is the phenomenon in which electromagnetic waves, particularly light, incident on an interface between two distinct media partially or completely rebound into the original medium, characterized by the conservation of energy and governed by the laws of reflection and the optical properties of the materials involved.
