Identify each situation as either refraction or reflection

When a wave hits boundary between two media where the wave speeds differ, but the wave stays in the original medium instead of passing into the second medium.
You see a car that is behind you in the driver side mirror
Your straw appears to be split in 2 pieces at the edge of the water in your glass.
“Objects in mirror are closer than they appear” on the passenger side mirror
The change of the direction of waves when they pass into a medium where they have a different speed.
A rainbow forms on the table after light passes through a glass

Sometimes when you look into a curved mirror you see a magnified image (a great big you) and sometimes you see a diminished image (a little you). If you look at the bottom (convex) side of a shiny spoon, what will you see?

You may have seen ambulances on the street with the letters of the word AMBULANCE written on the front of them, in such a way as to appear correctly when viewed in your car's rear-view mirror. (See the figure.) How do the letters appear when you look directly at the ambulance (not through the mirror)?

A diver shines light up to the surface of a smooth pond at a 10-degree angle to the normal. Some light passes into the air above, and the part that reflects back into the water makes an angle to the normal of
