If you were bouncing them both, a basketball would bounce higher.
If the ball was a another shape, it wouldn't roll straight (an equally-weighted sphere is the only shape that can roll predictably). The point is that a spherical ball, sufficiently inflated or filled, produces about the same distribution of forces no matter what its orientation. Which is why many sports (golf, tennis, soccer, baseball, basketball, billiards, bowling) use round balls, so that bouncing, rolling, or hitting them the same way produces consistent rather than unpredictable results. Footballs and rugby balls can take unusual bounces and paths due to their oblong shapes.

When the ball hits the ground some energy is given up during the compression and decompression of the ball. The difference between bouncing it on concrete and sand. The sand almost stops the ball while the concrete bounces it back up fairly well. The sound it makes requires energy. Also gravity would rather have an object falling towards the larger mass than away.
Because the bottem mirror which is set and 45 degrees the light bounces off of and goes up at exactly 90 degrees that light then bounces off the top mirror and out a hole for you to look through.

The record for the most bounces of a basketball on the ground in one minute is 451, set by Alex Blumberg in 2017.
Yes, it is normal if a gerbil bounces. This being that bouncing, is referring to a hopping movement, or as a way of getting around.

Air pressure affects the bouncing of a basketball by inflating or deflating it. Higher air pressure makes a basketball bouncier, resulting in more bounces, while lower air pressure reduces the ball's bounce. The correct air pressure for a basketball is usually around 7.5 to 8.5 pounds per square inch (psi).
reflection
When light bounces off an object, it is called reflection.
It's because the surface area of a bouncing ball is more and it is thickly elastic
A basketball is an object that is fat and round and bounces off the ground.
So it bounces
