mirror
Mirrors can comes in the forms of: ____ or ____
flat or curved
____ is the bouncing of light when it hits a barrier of a boundary of another medium,

angle of incidence
They are light-reflecting objects, they reflect light rays in an orderly pattern.
specular reflection
This is parallel rays striking a rough surface, such as a wood or a rock, the reflected rays are scattered.

two kinds of spherical mirrors:
Concave and Convex
The reflecting surface is curved inward.
Concave
The reflecting surface is curved outward.
Convex
This is curved pieces of glass or any other transparent material. This can also bend light rays.
Lenses
The bending of light is called ____
