Deflection happens when an object hits a plane surface

Deflection is the physical event where an object collides and bounces against a plane surface.

In such collisions involving a sphere and a plane, the collision angle formed with the surface normal (the incidental angle α) must equal the bounce angle (the accidental angle β), <math>\alpha = \beta<math>
