Refraction vs reflection
Reflection and refraction are fundamental phenomena involving the behavior of waves at boundaries between different media. Reflection involves the bouncing back of waves, while refraction involves the bending of waves as they enter a new medium. Snell's Law quantitatively describes how light bends at these boundaries, providing a foundational principle in optics and other fields where understanding wave behavior is crucial. Mastering these concepts not only enhances our understanding of natural phenomena but also enables advancements in technology and scientific research.
