the difference between reflection and reflection, is nothing. they basically mean the same thing unless you are thinking of it in other terms.

Answer

Do you mean reflection and refraction, if so then reflection is the immage you see reflected back at you when you look in a mirror. Refraction is when a light wave is bent. When you put a straw in a glass of water, you will notice that the part of the straw in the water is out of line with the part of the straw above the water.
