reflectors

Reflectors are devices or surfaces designed to redirect light rays back toward their source, enhancing visibility. In everyday use, they are often embedded in safety gear, road signs, or clothing to make objects or people more visible in low-light conditions by bouncing light from headlights or other sources back toward the driver or observer. This reflection helps ensure safety by alerting others to presence and position even when lighting is poor. Reflectors work passively, meaning they don’t emit their own light but rely on the incident light to function effectively.
