Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflection of light is a phenomenon when light is thrown back by a smooth surface at the same angle as it hit the surface.

Refraction of light is a phenomenon of deviation of the direction of light when it moves from one medium to another medium due to the different speed of light in a different medium.

In the prism,

1. The light which is bounced back by the surface is- reflected light.

2. The light showing deviation in the direction of light- refracted light.
