Reflection | Refraction |
When light falls from one medium on the surface of another medium a part from it bounce back in the same medium. This process is called reflection of light. | When light falls from one medium on the surface of another medium it changes its direction and speed. This process is called refraction of light. |
In this process light bounce back. | In this process light change path. |
In this process light waves bounce off the plane and change direction. | In this method light waves change their direction and speed. |
In reflection of light angle of incidence is equal to the angle reflection. | In refraction angle of incident is not equal to angle of refraction. |
It occurs in mirrors. | It occurs in lenses. |
