Yes, light can be both refracted and reflected. Refraction of light is the bending of light. This occurs when light changes mediums. For instance, when the light from a pencil travels to your eyes from the inside of a glass of water it is bent. The pencil appears to be bent because the half out of the water's light is not bent and the light from the half inside the water changes mediums from water to air causing a bend. This bend creates the bent pencil illusion that you see. Reflection is simiply the incident ray that is generated when a ray of light strikes a particular surface at a certain angle. It only occurs however when the surface is reflective, because un-reflective surfaces will absorb most of the light. :D

What is an example of an everyday object that does works due to refracted light?
MIRROR
Is the red light reflected or refracted through a prism?
The red light is refracted as it passes through a prism. The different colors of light are refracted at slightly different angles due to their differing wavelengths, causing them to separate and create a rainbow effect.
When light is refracted there is a change in its?
direction and speed.
When is light refracted?
Light is refracted when it passes from one medium to another with a different optical density, such as from air to water or from air to glass. This phenomenon causes the light to change direction as it enters the new medium due to a change in its speed.
What is light refracted by?
Light is refracted by a discontinuity in the refractive index of the medium ... by going from one medium into another one where the speed of light is different.
What happened to light when it is refracted?
When light is Refracted it bends when it travels from one medium to another
When is light not refracted?
Light is not refracted when while it passes through a vacuum, or through any uniform material.
How will you compare prism to raindrops?
Light is refracted and reflected by a (glass) prism Light is refracted and reflected by a raindrop
When does light bounce?
When it is refracted.
When light goes through a camera lens is it reflected or refracted?
It would be refracted.
What is happens when light is refracted by matter?
the light bends.
