  Actually they are not rays, but waves.
  This may start a physics flame war, but a photon is not a particle but
a electromagnetic wave quantum (is that the right term? I have studied
physics only in finnish... :) ).
  Instead of thinking about the light as rays, think about it as if you
had a swimming pool full of water. When you make waves on the water,
the waves will bounce from the walls of the pool. At least I think about
it that way :)
