What is light that is bent when it passes through an object called?
reFRACtion There isn't a good nmeonic or the like to remember the difference between refraction, reflection and diffraction. You just have to learn it.
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
What is the difference between waves bending due to refraction and diffraction?
Refraction is the bending of light when it passes from one medium to another medium (like from air to glass). The basis for refraction is the speed of light is slightly different in the two mediums. Diffraction is the bending of light that occurs around a sharp edge (like light passing thru a slit). The basis for diffraction is the spreading out of the wave as it passes by the sharp edge.
What is difference between reflection and refraction of sound wave?
reflection - it bounces off a substance refraction - the course of movement is bent
What is the difference between refraction and reflection.?
Reflection is for the light rays to bounce, and refraction is for the light rays to bend. maybe not equally, but enough to bend or bounce.
What the difference is between reflection and refraction?
Reflection is for the light rays to bounce, and refraction is for the light rays to bend. maybe not equally, but enough to bend or bounce.

Is there a difference between reflection and scattering?
in reflection, angle of incidence is equal to angle of refraction.... where as in scattering, there is no such law....:)
What is the difference between Sound Reflection and Sound Refraction?
refraction is where the soubd waves bend, reflection is when sound waves bounce off of things and change direction.
What is the difference from reflection and refraction?
REFLECTION: 1It is the phenomena in which a ray of light after striking a surface retuns back to the same medium. 2.reflection is carried out by the help of mirrors such as concave and convex mirrors. REFRACTION: 1.when a ray of light travels from one medium to another medium its speed changes and this change in speed causes refraction of light. 2.it is caused by lenses such as concace and convex lenses.
What is the difference between light and light refraction?
In reflection the light bounces bach; in refraction the light passes through, but is bent at the interface.
What is difference between reflection and reflection?
the difference between reflection and reflection, is nothing. they basically mean the same thing unless you are thinking of it in other terms. Answer Do you mean reflection and refraction, if so then reflection is the immage you see reflected back at you when you look in a mirror. Refraction is when a light wave is bent. When you put a straw in a glass of water, you will notice that the part of the straw in the water is out of line with the part of the straw above the water.
