    Reflection - 1) speed of ray does not change,

    2) ray bounces off the boundary, 3) Direction found by law of reflection

    Refraction - 4) direction found by Snell's law, 5) speed of ray changes.

    Explanation:

    In reflection, the reflected ray will bounce off the reflecting surface, in a direction opposite to the direction of the incident wave, in the same plane as the incident wave.

    But in refraction, bending of the light ray occurs when there is a change in the medium in which the light ray travels. The laws of refraction as given by Snell's law are followed for refraction. Speed of the light ray changes since there is an interaction of the ray with the particles of the medium separating the two media.
