Reflection- In reflection, light ray falling on the plane returns to the same medium. Conversely, in refraction, the ray falling on the plane travels from one medium to another. In reflection, the waves bounce off the surface. ... In reflection, the angle of incidence is same as the angle of reflection.

Refraction- Refraction is the bending of a wave when it enters a medium where its speed is different. The refraction of light when it passes from a fast medium to a slow medium bends the light ray toward the normal to the boundary between the two media.

✯ Reflection ✯

  • ➷ The bouncing back of light is called reflection.

  • ➷ It involves only a single medium.

  • ➷ After reflection, only change in direction takes place.

✯ Refraction ✯

  • ➷ The phenomenon of bending of light is called refraction.

  • ➷ It involves two or more than two media.

  • ➷ After refraction, changes in direction and velocity take place.
