Reflection
when a wave travels from one medium to another, part of the energy of the wave is transmitted into the new medium with the same frequency, part is absorbed, and part moves back into the original medium (or is reflected) with the same frequency

Interference
two kinds-constructive and destructive, two or more waves result of two waves passing simultaneously through the same area of a medium independently that affect the medium independently but do not affect each other
