Question

What is the difference between reflection and refraction of light
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Reflection is the bouncing back of light when it strikes a smooth surface. Refraction is the bending of light rays when it travels from one medium to another. Generally occurs on shinny surfaces that only allow rebounding of light without permitting penetration through it.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Reflection Of Light. Light rays change direction when they reflect off a surface, move from one transparent medium into another or travel through a medium whose composition is continuously changing.

Refraction Of Light. R efraction is simply bending or change in direction of light.

In the case of reflection, the medium in which light propagates remains the same. Whereas in refraction, the medium of propagation gets changed. When a light ray strikes the boundary of a different medium then in the case of reflection the speed of the light ray does not vary.
