Reflection occurs when a wave hits boundary between two media where the wave speeds differ, but the wave stays in the original medium instead of passing into the second medium. ... Refraction is the change of the propagation direction of waves when they pass into a medium where they have a different speed.

What is difference between refraction and reflection?
Reflection is the bouncing back of light when it strikes a smooth surface. Refraction is the bending of light rays when it travels from one medium to another.
What is refraction simple words?
Refraction is the change in direction of a wave, caused by the change in the wave's speed. Examples of waves include sound waves and light waves. Refraction is seen most often when a wave passes from one transparent medium to another transparent medium. Different types of medium include air and water.
What is an example of refraction and reflection?
Common objects include mirrors (reflect); glass of water with spoon in it (refract); foil (reflect); oil in a glass bottle (refract); prism (refract); glass (refract); lens (refract); or any shiny surface (reflect). ... The mirror can help concentrate light through "reflection" and then help to illuminate an object better.
