The greater the change in speed, the less the light wave is reflected.

False?

False. The change in speed of light does not affect the amount of reflection. The angle of incidence and the properties of the reflecting surface determine the amount of reflection. To verify this, you could conduct an experiment where you vary the change in speed of light (by changing the medium through which light moves) and measure the amount of reflection. You would find that the change in speed does not have a direct correlation with the reflection of light.
