The Law of Reflection states that when a light ray strikes a reflective surface, the angle at which it hits the surface, known as the angle of incidence, is equal to the angle at which it bounces off, called the angle of reflection. This principle is commonly observed in mirrors and calm water surfaces. The Law of Refraction describes how light bends when it passes from one medium to another, such as from air into water. The degree of bending depends on the indices of refraction of the two media, which is quantified by Snell's Law. This phenomenon is why objects appear distorted when viewed underwater.
