How Does Reflection, Transmission Work?

Imagine you're playing with a ball and a wall, that’s how reflection and transmission work!

When something, like light or sound, hits a surface, it can do two things: bounce back (that's reflection) or go through the surface (that's transmission).

Think of reflection as when a ball hits a wall and bounces back to you. The wall stops the ball from going through it, just like how light bounces off a mirror instead of going through it.

Now imagine the wall is actually a net, like in soccer. When the ball hits the net, some of it goes through, that’s transmission. It's like when light goes from air into water: part of it bounces back (reflection), and part of it goes into the water (transmission).

So, whether it bounces or goes through depends on what it hits, just like how your ball behaves with a wall or a net! Imagine you're playing with a ball and a wall, that’s how reflection and transmission work!
