Question

What is difference between reflection and refraction?

Answer 1

Hello!!!!!



reflection is bouncing back of light after strinking on a smooth or rough surface.





but refraction is a process of bending of light from one medium to another medium.





refraction occur due to change in velocity of light.







reflection follow 2 laws:-



1) the incident ray normal Ray and reflected Ray lies on the same plane.



2) the angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection.





refraction also follow 2laws:-



1) the Sine of angle of incidence is equal to sign of angle of refraction.





2) the angle of incidence and angle of refraction and normal lie on the same plane.






hope that it will be sufficient for you!!!!!!!!!!!!




thanks

Answer 2

when light ray incident on boundary between 2 media then ray bounce back to same media this is called as reflection and
