{{Short description|Change in a moving object's trajectory due to a collision or force field}}{{unsourced|date=May 2021}}(File:Deflection.png|thumb|upright=1.35|An object hitting a surface is an example of deflection.)In physics, deflection is a change in a moving object's velocity, hence its trajectory, as a consequence of contact (collision) with a surface or the influence of a non-contact force field. Examples of the former include a ball bouncing off the ground or a bat; examples of the latter include a beam of electrons used to produce a picture, or the relativistic bending of light due to gravity.- the content below is remote from Wikipedia

Deflective efficiency
{{see also|shock (mechanics)|perfect mirror|absorption (electromagnetic radiation)}}An object's deflective efficiency can never equal or surpass 100%, for example:- a mirror will never reflect exactly the same amount of light cast upon it, though it may concentrate the light which is reflected into a narrower beam.
- on hitting the ground, a ball previously in free-fall (meaning no force other than gravity acted upon it) will never bounce back up to the place where it first started to descend.
