Question

Differentiate between reflection and refraction give two differences

Answer 1

in reflection , the light gets bounce back while
in refraction light get bend and speed changed

Answer 2

Differences between refraction and reflection are

Reflection:

1. It is rebouncing of light from a surface of the reflecting medium.

2. It occurs only in one medium

3. the angle of incidence will always be equal to the angle of reflection, i.e., i=r

4. It occurs in mirrors

Refraction:

1. It is light travelling from one medium to another

2. It takes place in 2 mediums

3. The angle of incidence depends upon the medium (i.e., how much denser or rarer it is.

4. It occurs in lenses
