How Light Works
light is made up of three colours, blue,green and red.
A person, named Christiaan Hyugens, believed that light was made up of waves vibrating down and up in a perpendicular way to the way light travels. light is the fastest thing on earth, it can go around earth 7.5 times in just 1 second, which is around 190,000 miles per hour!!

This is the easiest way to understand the way light is reflected is through this method. But one of the easiest examples of reflection is when a snooker ball is shot. The ball bounces right back off the edge of the snooker table. The only thing that changes the way the ball bounces off the edge is the edge's, the ball's shape, the material the snooker ball is made of and how the ball is hit. Light bounces of objects differently because of many reasons, the objects material, the objects characteristics, like it's a shape.
