reflection occurs when you look in a mirror and light bounces off of the mirrror and it comes back and you can see your reflection

Reflection from water will occur only beyond the critical angle between air and water. Reflection from a mirror will occur at all angles.

a light source and a reflector
A complete reflection will occur
Reflection and refraction occur simultaneously when a light ray encounters a boundary between two different mediums at a specific angle known as the Brewster's angle. At this angle, the reflected and refracted rays are perpendicular to each other, allowing both phenomena to occur simultaneously.
Total internal reflection typically occurs in materials with a higher refractive index than air, such as glass or water. Iron, being a metal, has a lower refractive index than air, so total internal reflection is not likely to occur in iron substances.
No, specular reflection occurs when light hits a smooth and shiny surface, such as a mirror. On the other hand, dull surfaces scatter light in different directions, which is known as diffuse reflection.
Sound wave reflection occurs when a sound wave hits a surface and bounces back. The factors that influence the reflection of sound waves include the angle of incidence, the nature of the surface, and the frequency of the sound wave.
Yes, regular reflection can occur on a rough surface if the irregularities on the rough surface are smaller than the wavelength of the incident light. In this case, the light waves reflect in a more scattered manner, as opposed to the organized reflection seen on a smooth surface.
For total internal reflection to occur, light must be traveling from a denser medium to a less dense medium, and the angle of incidence must be greater than the critical angle, which is determined by the refractive indices of the two media.
Regular reflection occurs when a smooth surface reflects light in a single direction, maintaining the angle of incidence equal to the angle of reflection. Diffuse reflection occurs when a rough surface scatters light in multiple directions. The characteristics of the reflecting surface, such as smoothness or roughness, determine whether regular or diffuse reflection will occur.
The reflection of sound waves off of walls, floor, ceiling, seats, and people causes reverberation.
