Mainly that both are waves. That means they have a speed, a frequency, a period, a wavelength, and an amplitude. It also means they are subject to all sorts of wave phenomena, like interference and diffraction.

∙ 12y agoI have been looking for some too but all I could find or think of is that the both change the direction of waves due to a medium. Source: basically a 12 year old kid who's learning about light in science class.

What is is the similarities between reflection and refraction?
There really is no similarity. One is that they are wave behaviors. Reflection is when a wave bounces off an object and comes back to you. Refraction is the bending of a wave through different materials because the substances are different. Mechanical waves travel faster in solids then liquids so refraction happens.

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 is the difference between refraction and dispersion?
refraction is when light bends because of the change in desity, dispersion is white light that splits in a prism inot the colours of the spectrum (red, yellow, orange, green, blue, indigo and violet) so refraction is light changing direction and dispersion is white light splitting inot the colours of the spectrum (red, yellow, orange, green, blue, indigo and violet).
The dependence of wave speed and index of refraction on wavelenght is called?
Dispersion.
What is the principle of dispersive power of prism?
It works under the principle of refraction and the phenomenon of dispersion.
How are refraction and dispersion demonstrate light?
They don't demonstrate light; they assume that you have light in the first place.
What are the seven properties of light?
refection refraction diffraction polarization interference dispersion photoelectric effect
What is the difference between diffraction and dispersion?
Diffraction = The amount of light passing through a photographic lens being adjusted by a diaphragm. Dispersion = The splitting of light of different colors due to the different indices of refraction at different wavelengths when the light enters a lens or prism.
What is the normal dispersion of the refractive indices?
In which the index of refraction is higher for short wavelengths and lower for long wavelengths.
What is the difference between Dispersion and Skewness?
distinguish between dispersion and skewness
Where do rainbows appear?
reflection, refraction, dispersion and total internal reflection of the sun's rays make rainbows appear.
Light remains unchanged when it goes from matter?
Many phenomenons can occur: refraction, reflexion, absorption, dispersion, scattering, transmission.
Splitting white light is called what?
All the colours of light travel at different wavelengths.The length of the wavelengths depends on the amount of energy that the colour has. For example, red light has the longest wavelength, thus having the lowest energy. When the wavelengths of the colours change, due to a less or more dense atmosphere, the colours split. This is called Dispersion (the splitting of white light).
