Answer:

X is the shadow.

Y is the reflection.

The main difference between a shadow and a reflection is that a shadow is formed when the path of light rays is blocked by any object whereas a reflection is formed by the bouncing of light rays from any surface.

Explanation:

Difference between a shadow and a reflection-

  1. A shadow is formed when there is an obstruction in the path of light rays. The change in the direction of light rays when they strike a surface is known as reflection.
  2. Example-If we place our hand in front of a candle, we can see a shadow on the wall. We can see our reflection in a mirror.
  3. When the path of light is blocked by an opaque object, a shadow is formed. When light is reflected by a shiny, plane and smooth surface then a reflection is formed.
  4. The colour of a shadow is always black but the colour of a reflection is same as that of the object.
  5. A shadow is always virtual where rays appear to meet but a reflection can be either real or virtual.
