Question

What is the difference between refraction and reflection? No irrelevant answer please!!!!!​

Answer 1

Difference between Reflection and Refraction

Reflection Refraction

@ Reflection usually occurs in mirrors.

# Refraction usually occurs in Lenses.

@ Reflection can simply be defined as the reflection of light when it strikes the medium on a plane.

# Refraction can be defined as the process of the shift of light when it passes through a medium leading to the bending of light.

@ The light entering the medium returns to the same direction.

# The light entering the medium travels from one medium to another.

@ Considering the light waves, they bounce from the plane and change direction.

# The light waves pass through the surface while simultaneously change from medium to medium.

@ The angle of incidence of the light is equal to the angle of reflection.

# The angle of incidence is not equal to the angle of reflection.
