What are the quantum circumstances that manifest reflection?
Also, to what precision does the wave reflect and is that verified or only speculated by model?

$\begingroup$ Reflection begins with photons being absorbed and then re-emitted in random directions. It takes billions and billions of photons doing this on a surface to reflect an image. $\endgroup$– Bill AlseptCommented Jun 22, 2018 at 1:31

$\begingroup$ @RandyZeitman there’s nothing wrong with your question. Partial reflection is even more interesting. $\endgroup$– Bill AlseptCommented Jun 22, 2018 at 3:23

$\begingroup$ Yes, it's a good question ... but it's also a repeat is what I mean. "This question already has an answer..." $\endgroup$– Randy ZeitmanCommented Jun 22, 2018 at 3:29
