Light and Its Theories Evolving Light duality | Page 3

Reflection. Refraction.

Refraction is the change in direction of waves that occurs when waves travel from one medium to the next. With refaction always comes with a change in wavelength and speed.

Reflection is the change in direction of a wavefront at an interference between two different media so that the wavefront returns into the medium that it came from. This is a very important and unique property of the light wave theory.
