Question
How is the reflection of light ray from a plane mirror different from the refraction of light ray as it enters a block of glass?
Solution
In case of reflection, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. On the other hand, in case of refraction, the angle of refraction is not equal to the angle of incidence.
