what is the refraction of light and reflection of light?explain the difference in simple language.whose answer would be the best I will mark him as brainliest.
Answers
Answer:
Refraction of light means the phenomenon in which light rays travel from one medium to another medium and gets deviated by its original path.
Reflection of light means the deviation of light rays in the same medium after striking a surface .
The difference between these two are that in reflection the medium in which light travells is not changed , whereas in refraction the medium in which light travells is changed.

Answer:
The important difference between reflection and refraction:
Parameters Reflection Refraction
Description 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.
Nature Of Surface Generally occurs on shinny surfaces that only allow rebounding of light without permitting penetration through it. This occurs in transparent surfaces that allow bending of the ray to a different medium.
Types There are two forms of reflection, they are, Regular reflection (Specular reflection) and Diffused reflection. There is a single form of refraction.
Occurrence Occurs in mirrors. Occurs in lenses.
Behaviour Of Light In this process, light bounces back and returns back in the same direction. In this process, light changes path i.e travels from one medium to another.
Speed Of Light When a light ray strikes the boundary of a shiny surface the speed of light ray does not vary. The speed of light varies with the medium in which the ray undergoes bending.
Medium Of Light Propagation The medium in which light propagates remains the same. The medium of propagation gets changed.
The angle of Reflection And Angle of Incidence The angle of reflection and angle of incidence is the same in the case of reflection. In refraction, the angle of reflection and angle of incidence are not the same.
