How light waves behave: absorption reflection transmission

Light waves, a type of electromagnetic radiation, interact with matter by transmitting, absorbing, or reflecting. Transparent materials allow clear transmission, while reflection occurs when light bounces off surfaces following the law of reflection. Refraction, bending light when moving between mediums, depends on the medium's index of refraction. Understanding these interactions explains how we see objects and images in different environments.
