Reflection is often used as part of software testing, such as for the runtime creation/instantiation of mock objects. Reflection is also a key strategy for metaprogramming. In some object-oriented programming languages such as C# and Java, reflection can be used to bypass member accessibility rules. For C#-properties this can be achieved by ...
Programming languages and computing platforms that typically support reflective programming (reflection) include dynamically typed languages such as Smalltalk, Perl, PHP, Python, VBScript, and JavaScript. Also the .NET languages are supported and the Maude system of rewriting logic.
Reflection (computer graphics), simulation of reflective surfaces Reflection mapping, an efficient image-based lighting technique for approximating the appearance of a reflective surface by means of a precomputed texture
I would think of a programming paradigm as a set of concepts, a set of things which you can or cannot do in a certain language or a certain style of programming. Reflection rather is a one-trick-pony, enabling the programmer to get the identifier of some entity at runtime (or similar concepts) and make a decision upon the result.
In computer programming, a mirror is a reflection mechanism that is completely decoupled from the object whose structure is being introspected. This is as opposed to traditional reflection, for example in Java, where one introspects an object using methods from the object itself (e.g. getClass()).

Phong was the inventor of the Phong reflection model and the Phong shading interpolation method, techniques widely used in computer graphics. He published the description of the algorithms in his 1973 PhD dissertation [4] and a 1975 paper.
