Reflection is the change in direction of a wavefront at an interface between two different media so that the wavefront returns into the medium from which it originated.

see in neon signs as shown in the image above. Different elements and molecules will emit their own specific colors of light after they are excited by high levels of electrical energy (as in the neon signs) or heat energy (as in the fireworks).
