What is the difference between reflection and refraction?
Answers
Explanation:
1. Reflection can simply be defined as the reflection of light when it strikes the medium on a plane.
2. Refraction can be defined as the process of the shift of light when it passes through a medium leading to the bending of light.
Hope, it's help you.

Reflection
The light rays bounces back when it touches the smooth surface
It remains in the same medium
It occurs in mirror
Speed , wavelength of the light doesn't change
occurs in shining ,smooth surface or plane surface
angle of incidence and angle of reflection always equal
Refraction
The light rays passes from one medium to another medium
It changes the medium
It occurs in lenses
speed , wavelength changes from one medium to another medium
occurs in transparent surface
angle of incidence and angle of refraction are not always equal
