superposition give me defintions for all of these terms
Reflection: The bouncing back of light rays from a surface.
Diffuse Reflection: The reflection of light in many different directions, resulting in a softened or blurred appearance.
Scattering (of light): The redirection of light rays in different directions by particles or irregularities in a medium.
Absorption: The process by which light is taken in and converted into heat energy by a material.
Refraction: The bending of light as it passes from one medium to another (e.g. air to water), causing a change in speed and direction.
Diffraction: The bending of light waves around obstacles or through small openings, leading to the spreading out of waves.
Superposition: The principle in physics where two or more waves overlapping in a region of space create a new wave that is a combination of the original waves.
