there's many uses of reflection and refraction.

Reflection:

Light, which is all visible spectrum is reflected off objects to give the colour they give.

Mirrors are a main use of reflection. And through a mirror, that light is reflected from the mirror to your eyes.

Fluorescence, which is when very short wavelengths are reflected off a material that absorbs UV rays and converts it to bright light, e.g. those fluro shirts that those construction workers wear.

Fibre optics. This is based on a phenomenon called total internal reflection. Light is reflected within itself because the angle isn't critical enough for light to be refracted.

Refraction:

I have no idea ... What is refraction used for?

What is reflection and refraction light?

What are the similarities of reflection and refraction?

REFLECTION: 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


Is a key a reflection or a refraction?

A key is neither a reflection nor a refraction. It is a physical object made of metal or another material that is used to lock or unlock doors or other devices. Reflection and refraction refer to the behavior of light when it interacts with a surface or a medium.

Does the kaliedoscope use reflection or refraction?

A kaleidoscope uses reflection of light to create its colorful patterns. The light reflects off the mirrors inside the kaleidoscope, creating multiple reflections that form intricate and symmetrical designs.


What is the difference between refraction and reflection?

Refraction occurs when light changes speed and direction as it passes from one medium to another, such as from air to water. Reflection, on the other hand, is when light bounces off the surface of a material, like a mirror, and changes direction. Refraction involves a change in speed and direction, while reflection involves a change in direction only.


How is refraction and reflection similar?

Refraction and reflection are both processes that involve the bending of light. Reflection occurs when light bounces off a surface, while refraction occurs when light passes through a medium and changes speed, causing it to bend. Both phenomena are fundamental principles of optics.


Is coherence important in reflaction and refraction?

Yes, coherence is important in both reflection and refraction. In reflection, coherence ensures that the wavefronts remain in phase after reflection. In refraction, coherence helps to maintain the continuity of the wavefronts as the light passes through different mediums.
