Reflection of light waves. All light waves undergo reflection, or the bouncing off of an obstacle, medium, or surface material. Regardless of whether or not the light is from an artificial source on natural, the human eye is accustomed to the fact that light waves undergo reflection as our pupils dilate and adjust accordingly. This is most often associated with glare from the reflection of loss of a high gloss or metallic surface. The reflection of light waves of a mirrored surface results in the formation of an image of their reflecting source of light. This experience is most simply explained by what you observe in the mirror, a reflection of yourself in opposite another way of explaining Lightwave reflection is that the angle at which the light approaches a flat reflecting surface is equal to the angle at which the wave leaves the surface.

This also creates a mirror of the original source. This is similar to liquid and soundwaves. Just as it's observed for light waves. Light follows the law of reflection when bouncing off surfaces and we can observe objects in reflection.
