When light is sent back to the source, it is said to be refracted. True False

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"refracted" is bent, "reflected" is returning to the source from a discontinuity, which I think is what is being described.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Light refraction refers to the light transmitted from one medium to another, however light reflection is light send back from a boundary condition between two medium. Therefore the statement is false

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, this is describing reflection, meaning it is not describing refraction.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

close this : reflected
