18. Four ways light is affected by matter:

19. Review Reflection and Refraction • Reflection occurs when light bounces off a surface. • Refraction occurs when light bends crossing through materials.

20. The incident ray strikes the mirror. The reflected ray bounces off. Law of Reflection The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.
