Incident ray
ray of light coming toward a surface
angle of incidence
measured between the incident ray and the normal
normal
perpendicular line drawn from point of contact of incident ray at the surface
reflected ray
ray of light starting at the point of contact and moving away from the surface
angle of reflection
measured between the reflected ray and the normal
types of reflection
specular, diffuse
specular reflection
reflection off of a smooth, plane surface, forms a clear image
diffuse reflection
light reflects off of a bump surface, forms a rough image
laws of reflection
incident ray, reflected ray, and normal lie on the same plane
angle of reflection is equal to angle of incidence
