they are all related to how waves change direction
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.
Reflection is the bouncing of light waves off a surface, where the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles or through openings, causing them to spread out and interfere with each other. Both phenomena involve the behavior of waves but have different causes and effects.
Refraction involves the bending of wave energy as it passes from one medium to another due to a change in speed, while reflection occurs when wave energy bounces off a surface. Refraction causes a change in direction of the wave energy, while reflection results in redirection back towards the source. Both phenomena play a crucial role in how wave energy interacts with various mediums and surfaces.
Compare and contrast it with what?
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.
1. Compare 2. Contrast
compare is when you compare two things that are the same and contrast is when you compare two things that are different.
