Different uses include:-
1) Magnifying Glass
2) Fishing
3) Explorations
4) Some Solar Panels,
Etc.
Different mirrors usually have uses for reflection, rotation, refraction, and more.
Refraction ~ look to related link below .
It is called refraction, but some material bounces off the light and it is called reflection.
Perhaps you are confusing with "refraction"? Refraction means that when a wave goes from one substance to another (for example, from air to water), it changes its direction. This is related with the index of refraction in the different substances, i.e., the wave has a different speed in the different substances.

the refraction of light in water medium is 1.0003,glass 1.5,etc.
it is used in optical fibres for data transmission.

There will be refraction when light passes from one substance to the other (for example, from air to water), when the two substances have different indices of refraction, and when light passes the surface at an angle. In other cases, there is no refraction.
diffraction, reflection, refraction
Refraction occurs when light travels from one medium to another having different optical densities.
Refraction
The density. Refraction occurs at the boundary between two media of differing densities, such as air and water.
Refraction is the bending of waves as they enter a different medium.
