Question

what is the difference between Refraction and Reflection​

Answer 1

Answer:

difference:

Explanation:

Reflection is the bouncing back of light when it strikes a smooth surface, whereas, Refraction is the bending of light rays when it travels from one medium to another.

Answer 2

Answer:

SOLUTION

Reflection of light occurs when light rays strike a surface and bounce back or reflect off it. In this case, the Law of Reflection is valid, i.e., the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.

Refraction is when light rays enter a different medium of different optical density and change direction or bend. In this case, Snell's Law is valid to calculate the degree of refraction. If it enters a more optical dense medium it is refracted towards the normal.
