Question

Explain the difference between reflection and refraction

Answer 1

Answer:  

Difference between reflection and refraction :

• The reflection is the phenomena based on light propagation where the light bounce back after hitting a polished surface.

For example:- light bounce back at different angles when it hits a mirror or shiny metal.

• The refraction is the also a phenomena based on light propagation where the light rays passes through a transparent surface and changes its direction by bending.

For example :-when we put a spoon in a glass of water, the spoon it refract light and appears bent.

Answer 2

I have attached a picture which I think it is self-explanatory. 

Reflection is when light bounces off an object, while refraction is when light bends while passing through an object
