The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify the property of light that describes the phenomenon where a light ray strikes a surface and is returned back into the same medium. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the specific property of light that causes it to bounce back into the same medium after hitting a surface. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A: Reflection** - This term is commonly used in physics to describe the bouncing back of light when it hits a surface. - **Option B: Reflect Section** - This term does not relate to any known property of light. - **Option C: Reflection** - This is the same as option A and is a valid term in the context of light behavior. - **Option D: Regression** - This term is not associated with light properties. 3. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: - Both option A and option C refer to the same concept, which is reflection. However, since the question specifies to choose one option, we will go with option C as the correct answer. 4. **Conclusion**: The property due to which a light ray striking a surface is returned back into the same medium is called **Reflection**. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **Option C: Reflection**. ---
