Question

differentiate between reflection or refraction

Answer 1

reflection is the process of bouncing back of light from a polished surface.

refraction is a process when light bends when it goes from one medium to other

Answer 2

The phenomenon of a light beam rebounding after hitting a surface is called reflection. To put it simply, the mirror images are what are called reflection generally. The light beam that hits thesurface is calledincident ray. The light beam that leaves the surface is called the reflected ray. There’s another phenomenon called refraction. Here, the light changes direction, or ‘bends’ as it passes through the boundary between these two media. The images that are witnessed through the glass/see-through objects are a result of refraction.
