If you’ve enjoyed any messy barbecues this summer, you may have also used a mirror to check if you need a napkin!

That mirror (and how light interacts with it) is an example of reflection in action. Reflection is a property of optics that has to do with how light bounces off a flat surface at a certain angle.

Learn about reflection in today’s Science Short, along with another property of optics: refraction! (Which Jerrod will demonstrate with an experiment using a glass of water and a wooden stick. )
