Reflection of a light wave involves the bouncing of a light wave off the boundary, while refraction of a light wave involves the bending of the path of a light wave upon crossing a boundary and entering a new medium the refracted Ray is the ray that points in the direction that the refracted waves are traveling.

Hope this helps!
