Light bounces off a white cement sidewalk.
Reason: reflection (light "bouncing") is best pictured as photons hitting and scattering from the surface, a particle-like behavior. Phenomena such as bending (refraction) or interference/diffraction point to wave behavior, and the constant vacuum speed doesn't distinguish the two.
