Reflection- reflecting light off an object in a straight ray
Deflection- Deflecting light in no set direction
Refaction - sending light back in the form of broken light rays

Luminescence occurs when visible light is emitted by some method other than a hot object. Three common types of luminescence include:
(1) Fluorescence
(2) Phosphorescence
(3) Bioluminescence
Other less common types include:
(4) Electroluminescence
(5) Mechanoluminescence
(6) Radioluminescence
(7) Sonoluminescence
(8) Thermoluminescence

It can have it's own light from a chemical reaction (light sticks)
It can absorb light and slowly discharge it (glow in the dark stuff)
It can reflect available light back to you from an otherwise unseen source, like the moon or a planet.

?????
I thought they were reflection, refraction and emission but I'm not sure...
Nooo... wait, I think it's bioluminescence(chemical),
thermoluminescence (heat),
electroluminescence (electricity),
and triboluminescence (friction)
but that's more than three...
Sorry! I guess that didn't help much...
