what is the difference between reflection and refraction?
Answers
In reflection, the waves bounce off the surface. On the contrary, in refraction, the waves pass through the surface, that changes their speed and direction. In reflection, the angle of incidence is same as the angle of reflection. ... Reflection takes place in mirrors, while refraction occurs in lenses.
Hey...
Answer:
When light falls on a highly polished surface such as a mirror, reflects most of the light rays falling on it. The plane surface seems shiny from a certain direction. If we change the direction of mirror the mirror shines from another direction. When light beam falls on a shiny surface they bounce back into the same medium in a certain direction, this phenomenon is called regular reflection.
When light falls on rough surfaces, dust & smoke, the light is reflected and spread in every direction. The phenomenon of spreading light in all directions by the rough surfaces is called diffused reflection.
Hope this helps ☹️
