Question
hi mr james pleasse ansewer about question

What is the advantage of the Reflection phenomenon ?

Answer
Is this a question about physics or about teaching?
If it is a question about physics, the implications of the question seem inappropriate. Reflection is a phenomenon - the word advantage does not seem to apply. If you are asking what reflection can be used for that is quite a different matter!
Uses of reflection: images in a mirror, being able to see anything, optics in a reflecting telescope, reflection through impedance mismatch such as from a clear pane of glass, echos, etc.
