both, refraction of light is breaking it up into the spectrum like when you shine it through a light triangle prism :D, while reflecting is bouncing the light off of a surface only changing it's direction

How light is reflected and refracted in a diamond?
Light is reflected and refracted in a diamond based on the angles of its facets relative to the source of the light.
What is a copy of an object formed by reflected or refracted rays of light?
An image is a copy of an object fromed by reflected (or refracted) rays of light.
What is the difference between reflected rays of light and refracted rays?
When a beam of light hits a mirror and bounces off, it is reflected. When light is refracted it means the light penetrates into a substance and changes the direction of its movement.
When light travels through a pair of eyeglasses is it reflected or refracted?
Refracted. Light passing through is refracted, light bouncing off of is reflected.
Is production of rainbow light reflected or refracted?
A reflected light would be light reflected by a mirror, and the light would remain unchanged. A reflected light of daylight is when white light is split into 'rainbow' colours.
How will you compare prism to raindrops?
Light is refracted and reflected by a (glass) prism Light is refracted and reflected by a raindrop

When light goes through a camera lens is it reflected or refracted?
It would be refracted.
What is a copy of an object formed by reflected or refracted rays of light?
An image is a copy of an object fromed by reflected (or refracted) rays of light.
When light is reflected or refracted it does what?
It bounces in a different direction

What word describes stopping light so that it is not reflected or refracted?
When light is stopped it is normally said that absorption has taken place. Opaque objects normally absorb light and thus it does not get reflected or refracted.
What will happen to light that are not absorb?
Light that is not absorbed is either reflected, refracted, or transmitted.
What is happening to light when it is being reflected?
The light bends. Depending on whether it is a concave or convex mirror, the light is either being refracted or reflected
What two things happen to light when it strikes to an object?
refracted or reflected
