Possibly reflection inasmuch as most of us use mirrors everyday for grooming ourselves. However, without refraction microscopes and the study of most disease organisms would have been much more difficult, and without refraction we would not have the pleasure of television and other uses of camera lenses.

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.


Which is better reflection or refraction?

Refraction is better.


Is a rainbow caused by reflection or refraction?

A rainbow is caused by both reflection and refraction of sunlight in raindrops.


A wave changes directions when its speed changes This is called?

Reflection, or refraction, depending on what causes the change in direction.


What is reflection and refraction light?

Reflection of light is the bending of light from its point. while refraction is the diverging of light from its bearing.


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.


What is the relationship between the index of refraction and the reflection properties of a mirror?

The index of refraction affects the reflection properties of a mirror by determining how much light is reflected and how much is transmitted through the mirror. A higher index of refraction results in more light being reflected, while a lower index of refraction allows more light to pass through the mirror.


How do you differentiate a reflection event from refraction event in a seismic record?

refraction event is a stright line and reflection is a hyperbolic event

Imagine that you are a fish underwater When you look up to the surface to the water you can see the sky and also the bottom of the pool How do you explain this unusual view?

Reflection and refraction. You see the reflection on the bottom of the surface of the pool. You see the refraction of light through the surface of the pool. This is the super short answer...someone else might provide more information but the reader can "google" reflection and refraction to find out more.


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.
