Question

What is a real-life example where you can use the concept or reflection, or the law of reflection, to determine something useful about your physical surroundings? What is a real-life application of refraction? Describe some real-life examples where diffraction and interference affect your daily life.

Answer 1

real life example of reflection is what we look into mirror daily and get dressed up, we can apply law of reflection as in case, if we are looking in a mirror and able to see someone in the mirror then this guy will also be able see us in the same mirror that is if we are in his field of view, he is also in our field of view.

application of refraction, if we look into a bucket of full of water, the depth of bottom of bucket will be very less as compared to its real depth.

In warm days, if we drive, we are able to some fluid type on road ahead of us, this is also refraction of light from the particles of atmosphere which in turn is called mirage. due to refraction itself, the color of sky is blue., and sun appears to be reddish in morning and evening time, which is in turn called scattering of light.

diffraction, when we see a CD it looks colorful, which is application of diffraction. we observe interference of light as well as sound in so many cases.
