Question

Differentiate between reflection and refraction of light

Answer 1

Reflection:

This is a phenomenon in which light is rebound back to the same media after hitting the reflecting surface. Angle of incidence and reflection are same.

Reflection is found in mirrors.

Refraction:

This is a phenomenon in which light changes its direction of travel when it strikes between the interface of the two different media.

Angle of incidence and refraction are not same.

Refraction is found in lenses.
