The reverting of light or sound waves in the same medium, when it falls on the plane, is called reflection. The shift in the direction of the radio waves, when it enters medium with different density, is known as refraction.
In reflection, light ray falling on the plane returns to the same medium. Conversely, in refraction, the ray falling on the plane travels from one medium to another.
In reflection, the waves bounce off the surface. On the contrary, in refraction, the waves pass through the surface, that changes their speed and direction.
In reflection, the angle of incidence is same as the angle of reflection. As against this, the angle of incidence is not similar to the angle of refraction.
Reflection takes place in mirrors, while refraction occurs in lenses.
