When light, for example, is reflected it does not enter the reflecting medium. However, to be refracted or diffracted, light must pass through the system that is altering it.

How does reflection differ from refraction?
Refraction is the bending of light after passing through a medium. Reflection is the bouncing back of light after striking a polished smooth surface like a mirror,clear water,polished metal,etc.
Is a key a reflection or a refraction?
refraction
How is refraction and reflection similar?
refraction and reflection are similar because *they both have to do with waves*
What is the bending of light from one medium to another?
It is called refraction, but some material bounces off the light and it is called reflection.
What are different types of sound wave interaction?
diffraction, reflection, refraction

What is the difference between refraction and reflection?
the difference between refraction and reflection is that in refraction light bends and in reflection it is reflected
Which is better reflection or refraction?
Refraction is better.
Is a light bulb an example of reflection or refraction?
It is refraction

What is reflection and refraction light?
Reflection of light is the bending of light from its point. while refraction is the diverging of light from its bearing.
What are different types of sound wave interaction?
diffraction, reflection, refraction
What are the similarities of reflection and refraction?
REFLECTION: IF a light ray in incident on a surface if it bring back to same medium is called reflection REFRACTION: IF a light ray in incident on a surface and going to another medium is called reflection and there is a a law for refraction that is SNELL'S LAW
How do you differentiate a reflection event from refraction event in a seismic record?
refraction event is a stright line and reflection is a hyperbolic event
