Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reflection is the process where light or photons bounce off a polished surface. Refraction is the bending of light when it enters a medium of different density, diffraction is the bending of light around an obstacle, dispersion is the separation of light into its constituent colors and interference is the superposition of two or more waves. The process described is the phenomenon of photons bouncing off a polished surface, which is known as reflection.
