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.

How does matter change phase?
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Phase changes typically occur when the temperature or pressure of a system is altered. When temperature or pressure increases, molecules interact more with each other. When pressure increases or temperature decreases, it's easier for atoms and molecules to settle into a more rigid structure.
