Difference between Reflection and Refraction

Reflection Refraction
Reflection is when light falls on any surface, and a part of that light is sent back to the same medium. Refraction usually deforms the image, depending on the angle in which the image hits another plane or surface.
It only involves images. It may also involve sound waves other than images.
The light entering the medium returns back in the same direction. The light entering the medium travels from one medium to another.
The angle of incidence of the light is equal to the angle of reflection. The angle of incidence is not equal to the angle of reflection.
Considering the light waves, they bounce from the plane and change direction. The light waves pass through the surface while simultaneously change from medium to medium.
