Question

Compare and contrast between reflection and refraction

Answer 1

Differences:

Reflection is described as the reverting back of light or sound waves in the same medium, when it falls on plane.

Refraction means the shift in direction of the radio waves, when it enters medium with different density.

Comparisons:

Reflection and refraction both change the direction of light and both do not absorb light. All light waves can be reflected and refracted.

Both Reflection and Refraction are phenomenon related with wave motion of sound, and electromagnetic waves, thus including light.
