I just began learning light and optics and I am just so confused about what reflection, refraction and absorption is. I think a large part of my confusion stems from exactly what happens at an microscopic level when light hits an objects that causes it to be either reflected, refraction and absorbed? Like during reflection, does the object not absorb and transmit light at all, causing it to have no choice but to bounce back?
