What are Edges, Vertex, and Faces?
Are there any similarities between them(Edges, Vertex, and Faces)?
Do Reflection and shadows are same?
What is the difference between them? Reflection and Refraction?
Edges:
In easy words, Edges are the single line segment between two faces.
Or a starting point of any surface is an edge like a cube has 12 Edges.
Edges and Modeling in C4D:
Edges give you detailed information about the model also helps you in transforming the model into different shapes.
Vertex:
Corner points are called the vertex.
Vertex is a point where two edges are meet
Starting points from an edge start
A cube has 12 Vertex.
Single flat surfaces are called faces.
The face is a flat surface where two edges are meet.
A flat surface must have four vertexes.
Cube has six faces
Faces and Modeling in C4D:
Face mode help in modeling to effectively transformation of an object, this will be helpful in the texturing technique, and whenever you need to give details in a specific side of a model.

Reflection vs Shadows
Well, Reflection and shadows are not the same. it has some minor differences. Let’s have a look at it.
Reflection:
1:Reflection is not black in color. It always has some color. The same color of the object that reflected.
2:Reflection always gives you a detail of an object, in color and features, etc.
For Example:
Have a look at the picture below:
Shadows:
1: Shadows are always in black regardless of the color of the object
2 :Shadows will not give details it will give an outline of the object
For example:
Have a look at the picture below:
Type of Reflection:
There are two main types of Reflection
1: Reflection-in-action:
Reflection-in-action is the ability that how would you think with different approaches when even the situation occur
2: Reflection-on-action:
Reflection-on-action is the ability to think about what has previously happened to take action to solve a problem
Reflection vs Refraction
Reflection:
Reflection is a process in which light waves are sending back because of the shiny barrier like mirror and water etc.
For example:
Have a look at the graph:
Incident Ray:
Incident Ray is a light that through on a shiny object
Reflected Ray:
Reflected Ray is a light that touches the shiny surface and goes back on the same medium
Refraction:
Refraction is a process in which light Raychange its direction when it passes from one medium to another because both of the mediums have different reflected indexes.
Have a look at the graph:
The Green one is a glass slab. on the surface of the glass, you can see an incident ray that touches the normal path and change its direction to an Emergent ray.
Point that Incident and Emergent ray always move parallel to each other
This whole process is called refraction in which light rays change their direction from one medium to another.
When shadows and Reflection are formed?
1: When the light through on an opaque object the shadow will be formed
2: Reflection is always formed on flat surfaces like mirrors and water
Or you can say any highly polished surface can make a reflection .
