Question

differentiate between reflection and refraction

Answer 1

The basic difference between reflection and refraction is that Reflection of light is the process in which light bounces back on striking the surface, while refraction of light is the process in which light changes its direction as it passes from one medium to another medium.

Answer 2

Answer:

Reflection generally occurs in shinny surfaces that allow rebounding of light without permitting penetration through it. While refraction occurs in transparent surfaces that allows bending of the ray to a different medium. In the case of reflection, the medium in which light propagates remains the same.
