Question

What is the diffrence between reflection and refraction? Please explain.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Reflection involves a change in direction of waves when they bounce off a barrier. Refraction of waves involves a change in the direction of waves as they pass from one medium to another. Refraction, or the bending of the path of the waves, is accompanied by a change in speed and wavelength of the waves.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Reflection generally occurs in shinny surfaces that allow rebounding of light without permitting penetration through it. While refraction occurs in transparent surfaces that allows bending of the ray to a different medium. In the case of reflection, the medium in which light propagates remains the same.
