<u>[Reflection]</u>
- This occurs when light bounces off a surface (reflection is when light bounces off of something, a medium, but doesn't go through.)
- Best with a smooth surface (it is easiest for light to bounce off when the surface is smooth)
- If not for this behavior, mirrors wouldn't work (mirrors use reflection, if they did not you would not be able to see your <em>reflection</em>)
<u>[Refraction]</u>
- Light moves from one medium to another (when light moves from one medium to another, it refracts)
- Lenses in your glasses to bend light waves (refraction is all about bending light waves, so this option falls under this category)
- Microscopes and telescopes take advantage of this behavior of light (again, refraction is bending light waves. When you bend a light wave, it can make it easier to see [larger, smaller, etc] so this option is refraction)
- Light wave changes speed (light does not change speed when being reflected because it is in the same medium and just bouncing, but it refraction is changes mediums so it will bend and change speed)
[Note]
- Some of these can be figured out by knowing the definitions. For example, refraction is defined as "change in direction ... of any wave as a result of its traveling at different speeds at different points along the wave front" (Oxf/ord Languages)

I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)

Because the box keeps going straight at the same speed, while the seat under it speeds up, slows down, or changes direction.
Snorkel connects the diver's lungs with the air above the water. Because of this, the pressure inside the diver's lungs is the same as the atmospheric pressure.
The static pressure of a fluid is given with this equation:
The density of water is 1000kg/m^3.
Standart atmospheric pressure is 101<span>325Pa.

<h2>Potential energy lost by 10 N rock will be greater</h2>
Explanation:
Two rocks of 5N and 10N falls from the same height . Thus they will loose the potential energy.
The potential energy lost = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height
The potential energy lost by first 5 N rock = 5 h
Because weight of rock m g = 5 N
Similarly , the potential energy lost by 10 N Rock = 10 h
here weight of rock m g = 10 N
Thus comparing these two , the potential energy lost by 10 N rock is greater than that of 5 N rock .
