[Intro]
\n(Introducing:)
\n“Specular Reflection” (Versus)
\n“Mechanics of Reflection”
\n(Introduce us)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nNo mas no mass
\n(Spectacular specular)
\nWhereas…
\n(Ricochet dismay)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nIncident angle (get mangled)
\nSymmetry (of geometry)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nVector reflection
\n(Incident and friction)
\nLaw of Reflection
\n(Reaching perfection)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nFriction n’
\nFragmentation
\n(No penetration)
\nWave-particle duality
\n(Is a reality in totality)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nIncident angle (get mangled)
\nSymmetry (of geometry)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nVector reflection
\n(Incident and friction)
\nLaw of Reflection
\n(Reaching perfection)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nIncident angle (get mangled)
\nSymmetry (of geometry)<\/p>\n

A SCIENCE NOTE
\nHow would you compare the ricochet of a bullet to sunlight bouncing off the surface of a smooth body of water?<\/p>\n

That’s a really cool comparison \u2014 you’re touching on mechanics vs. optics<\/strong>, but both involve energy transfer through reflection<\/strong>. Here’s how the ricochet of a bullet<\/strong> compares to sunlight reflecting off water<\/strong> in terms of physics:<\/p>\n
