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.
What else can I help you with?
What are the seven properties of light?
refection refraction diffraction polarization interference dispersion photoelectric effect
Why dispersion occurs only during refraction not reflection?
Dispersion occurs during refraction because different wavelengths of light bend at different angles when they pass through a medium, leading to separation of colors. In reflection, light waves maintain their original composition as they bounce off a surface and do not bend or separate into different colors.
Is the result of diffraction refraction reflection interference or dispersion?
The result of diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles or through small openings.
Do rainbow has mass?
No, rainbows do not have mass. Rainbows are optical and meteorological phenomena caused by the reflection, refraction, and dispersion of light in water droplets in the atmosphere.
The dependence of wave speed and index of refraction on wavelenght is called?
Dispersion.

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.)
How do rainbows get their color?
Rainbows get their colors from the reflection, refraction, and dispersion of light in water droplets. When sunlight passes through the droplets, the light is separated into its different colors, creating the rainbow effect we see in the sky.
Do rainbow has mass?
No, rainbows do not have mass. Rainbows are optical and meteorological phenomena caused by the reflection, refraction, and dispersion of light in water droplets in the atmosphere.
What is the rainbow's name?
The rainbow is not a living being and therefore does not have a name. It is a natural phenomenon caused by the refraction, dispersion, and reflection of light in water droplets in the atmosphere.
Which is better reflection or refraction?
Refraction is better.
The dependence of wave speed and index of refraction on wavelenght is called?
Dispersion.
What is the compare and contrast between refraction and reflection?
Refraction is the bending of light as it passes through different mediums, while reflection is the bouncing back of light when it hits a surface. Refraction changes the speed and direction of light, while reflection maintains the original speed and direction. Both phenomena play crucial roles in how we perceive and interact with light.
Why can we have refraction without dispersion but cannot have dispersion without refraction?
Refraction occurs when light travels through a medium with different optical density, causing a change in its speed and direction. This phenomenon can occur without dispersion, which specifically refers to the separation of light into different colors based on their wavelengths. Dispersion cannot occur without refraction because the bending of light during refraction is necessary for different colors to be refracted at different angles, leading to dispersion.
