In this video we cover:
- The three things that may happen when a wave hits the boundary between two materials
- How to draw ray diagrams, including the angle of incidence, the normal, and the angle of reflection
- That the angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection
- How different boundary shapes give rise to different types of reflection
- The difference between specular reflection and diffuse (or scattered) reflection
