Reflection and Refraction:

What is Reflection??

The throwing back by a body or surface of light, heat, or sound without absorbing it.
When we reflect, we consider deeply something that we might not otherwise have given much thought to. This helps us to learn. Reflection is concerned with consciously looking at and thinking about our experiences, actions, feelings, and responses, and then interpreting or analyzing them in order to learn from them. 

What is Refraction>??
The fact or phenomenon of light, radio waves, etc. being deflected in passing obliquely through the interface between one medium and another or through a medium of varying density.change in direction of propagation of any wave as a result of its traveling at different speeds at different points along the wavefront.

1. Ray of Light:
A line down in the direction of propagation of light is called a ray of light.

2. The beam of Light:
A group of rays of light emitted by a source of light is called a beam of light. A light beam is of three types.

3. Reflection of Light:
There are some surfaces which have the ability to send the light back in the same medium when light strikes it. This 9. phenomena of sending the light back in the same medium by a surface are called the reflection of light. 

4. Image:
When light rays meet or appear to meet after reflection from a mirror, then it is called an Image.

To support my learning I ask you to comment as follows:
1. Something positive - something you like about what I have shared.
2. Thoughtful - A sentence to let us know you actually read/watched or listened to what I had to say
3. Something thoughtful - how have you connected with my learning? Give me some ideas for next time or ask me a question.
