Reflection and Types of Reflection Reflection and its types:   Reflection: this is the phenomenon of bouncing back of light; such phenomenon obeys laws of Reflection as: First Law of Reflection: The incident ray, the Reflected ray and the Normal all lie upon the similar plane. Second Law of Reflection: An angle of Incidence is equivalent to the angle of Reflection. Figure: Plane of incidence Note: Interaction of Light and Surface: A surface has four categories of interaction with light as: Specular reflection - light is reflected in a specific direction Diffuse reflection - light is reflected uniformly along with no exact direction Specular reflection - light is reflected in a exact direction Diffuse transmission - light is transmitted uniformly along with no preferred direction Specular transmission - light is transmitted in a preferred direction.
