11Reflection (linear algebra) — In linear algebra, a reflection is a linear transformation that squares to the identity ( R 2 = I , where R is in K dimensional space), also known as an involution in the general linear group. In addition to reflections across hyperplanes, the… …
12reflection — noun Etymology: Middle English, alteration of reflexion, from Late Latin reflexion , reflexio act of bending back, from Latin reflectere Date: 14th century 1. an instance of reflecting; especially the return of light or sound waves from a surface …
13reflection — 1. The act of reflecting. 2. That which is reflected. 3. In psychotherapy, a technique in which a patient s statements are repeated, restated, or rephrased in order that the patient will continue to explore and expound on emotionally significant… …
14reflection — Angle An gle ([a^][ng] g l), n. [F. angle, L. angulus angle, corner; akin to uncus hook, Gr. agky los bent, crooked, angular, a gkos a bend or hollow, AS. angel hook, fish hook, G. angel, and F. anchor.] 1. The inclosed space near the point where …
15reflection — , reflected image An image given back by a reflecting surface, such as that of a mirror or still waters. Each ray of light that hits a surface is an incident ray of light. Rays that are neither absorbed, nor reflected, are scattered rays of …
16Angle of reflection — Reflection Re*flec tion (r?*fl?k sh?n), n. [L. reflexio: cf. F. r[ e]flexion. See {Riflect}.] [Written also {reflexion}.] 1. The act of reflecting, or turning or sending back, or the state of being reflected. Specifically: (a) The return of rays …
17Angle of total reflection — Reflection Re*flec tion (r?*fl?k sh?n), n. [L. reflexio: cf. F. r[ e]flexion. See {Riflect}.] [Written also {reflexion}.] 1. The act of reflecting, or turning or sending back, or the state of being reflected. Specifically: (a) The return of rays …
18Total internal reflection — The larger the angle to the normal, the smaller is the fraction of light transmitted, until the angle when total internal reflection (blue line) occurs. (The color of the rays is to help distinguish the rays, and is not meant to indicate any… …
19Oblique reflection — In Euclidean geometry, oblique reflections generalize ordinary reflections by not requiring that reflection be done using perpendiculars. If two points are oblique reflections of each other, they will still stay so under affine transformations.… …
20Quantum reflection — is a physical phenomenon involving the reflection of a matter wave from an attractive potential. In classical physics, such a phenomenon is not possible; for instance when one magnet is pulled toward another, you do not expect one of the magnets… …
