Behavior of Light

Behavior of Light Reflection - If an object does not emit its own light (which accounts for most objects in the world), it must reflect light in order to be seen. ... A beam of light incident on the metal surface is reflected. Reflection involves two rays - an incoming or incident ray and an outgoing or reflected ray.

Behavior of Light Refraction - Light refracts whenever it travels at an angle into a substance with a different refractive index (optical density). This change of direction is caused by a change in speed. For example, when light travels from air into water, it slows down, causing it to continue to travel at a different angle or direction.

Behavior of Light Diffraction - occurs when a light wave passes by a corner or through an opening or slit that is physically the approximate size of, or even smaller than that light's wavelength, which causes the light to bend around the barrier.
