Difference between reflection and refraction?
\tReflectionRefractionThis phenomenon usually occurs in mirrors.This phenomenon usually occurs in Lenses.Reflection can simply be defined as the reflection of light when it strikes the medium on a plane.Refraction can be defined as the process of shift of light when it passes through a medium leading to the bending of light.The light entering the medium returns back in the same direction.The light entering the medium travels from one medium to another.Considering the light waves, they bounce from the plane and change direction.The light waves pass through the surface while simultaneously change from medium to medium.The angle of incidence of the light is equal to the angle of reflection.The angle of incidence is not equal to the angle of reflection.\t
, bouncing back of light is called reflection and refraction pehle bata chuki hu ☺️
Reflection takes place in mirror anf refraction is lens.Reflection required a polished aurface but refraction does not.Reflection is of 2 types regular and irregular but refraction is not divided such
It is a property of light in which light coming from source strike an interface and after striking ,it will bend in same medium in such a manner that angle of incidence and reflection are equal. ☺️☺️☺️ Refraction. Light coming from source strike an interface and after striking light will enter in second medium.If second medium is denser, it will bend towards normal. If rarer ,light will bend away from normal.???
Thanks vaishnavi but i want some more differences, it\’s a 3 marks question.
The phenomenon of bouncing back of light in same medium is reflection and when the light ray passes from one medium to another this phenomenon is called refraction
