Light is said to be reflected when the angle at which light initially strikes a surface is equal to the angle at which light bounces off the same surface.

In the diagram above, light strikes a surface at an angle "a" and leaves at an angle "b" (relative to that surface). Because angle "a" is equal to angle "b", this is an example of reflected light.
