Using Light: Reflection and Mirrors

The video tutorial explains the concept of reflection, using examples like a smooth lake surface and a car's rear-view mirror. It describes how light behaves similarly to a bouncing ball, with incident and reflected rays forming equal angles. The law of reflection is introduced, stating that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. The video also covers diffuse reflection, which occurs on irregular surfaces, such as brick walls and the atmosphere, causing light to scatter in various directions.
