You can compare it by saying that each of them occur when a light transfers through one meduim to another. That's one way of explaining it.
That is incorrect :( It happens when light is shone onto or through a different medium. Reflection happens when light is shone ONTO a mirror, you cant shine light THROUGH a mirror.

∙ 10y agoREFLECTION:
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

What is reflection in science terms?
♦ According to the law of reflection, the angle of reflection of a reflected wave is equal to its angle of incidence. Compare refraction
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
Where do rainbows appear?
reflection, refraction, dispersion and total internal reflection of the sun's rays make rainbows appear.
What are the similarities an differences of reflection and refraction and dispersion?
there isnt anything the same about it chickens are cool and so are cats mann B)

What are the two ways that light is manipulated?
Reflection and refraction. (Another is absorption.) (Another of the two is dispersion and interference.) (And another one is diffraction.)
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 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 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.
How would compare and contrast the reflection refraction and diffraction of water waves and sound waves?
they are all related to how waves change direction
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.
