This page is designed to help teach you about Reflection and Refraction.

Reflection is when light rays bounce off an object. Some examples include a mirror, or tinted windows in a car.
Refraction is the bending of light rays. Light travels through at different speeds. When light rays are refracted is due to them changing their speed. Some examples of refraction are microscopes, eyeglass lenses, telescopes, binoculars, concave and convex lenses.
