What's the difference between deflector and reflector?
Deflector
Definition:
(n.) That which deflects, as a diaphragm in a furnace, or a cone in a lamp (to deflect and mingle air and gases and help combustion).
Example Sentences:

(15) Or put another way: Wendi, as the pie deflector (the Times piece opens with a Tiger Mom reference), is the only Murdoch who looks good, so why shouldn't she grab the chance and separate herself from the others?
(16) It was established that the application of deflectors lowers considerably the effectiveness of free ventilation.
(17) Use of a timed, pulsed deflector system enables sufficiently short exposures to be obtained to eliminate blurring due to Brownian motion.
(18) This disappearance of the deflector-loft effect in the presence of anti-cheating slats suggests that the positions of the deflector panels in the two experimental lofts must be differentially influencing important visual orientation cues reaching the birds housed inside.
(19) As part of a long-term study designed to test whether orientation cues other than odors might also be involved in creating the deflector-loft effect, we carried out experiments in upstate New York, USA, in which deflector lofts were modified to reverse the direction of light reflected from the Plexiglas panels while leaving the rotation of winds unchanged.
(20) Percutaneous transfemoral pulmonary arteriography was easily performed in 175 patients with a newly modified Grollman catheter developed to facilitate catheter passage through the tricuspid valve without a tip deflector.
Reflector
Definition:
(n.) One who, or that which, reflects.
(n.) Something having a polished surface for reflecting light or heat, as a mirror, a speculum, etc.
(n.) A reflecting telescope.
(n.) A device for reflecting sound.
Example Sentences:
(1) A changed position of the mirror-reflector in the Rubin-2 thermovision unit as well as the use of an improved model of the couch-chair and a special cassette for electrochemical paper reduce the labour input and raise the information value of the method.
(2) As radiation sources, the following ones have proved useful: high-pressure mercury-vapour lamps, compound radiation systems consisting of high-pressure mercury-vapour burner, series coiled filament and reflector bulbs made of special glass as well as halogen metal-vapour lamps.
(3) We present applications to speckle reduction, detection of specular reflectors, attenuation estimation and ultrasound imaging.
(4) The likelihood for men to remarry is approximately five to six times higher and can be best interpreted as a reflector of the distribution of sexes on the "remarriage market", rather than as an expression of any differential priorities or attitudes between sex groups.
(5) It is estimated that about 30% of scintillation light can be collected at one end of such a counter, with a non-uniformity not greater than 10%, if magnesium oxide is used as the external reflector at all other surfaces.
(6) In this paper, it is demonstrated that the presence of a cepstral peak depends on the form of the probability density function (pdf) of the separation between reflectors.
(7) The data indicate that pharmacological stimulation of the peripheral arterial chemoreceptors by almitrine bismesylate in normoxic healthy humans causes reflectorically a slight renal vasoconstriction and a long-lasting inhibition of renal tubular sodium reabsorption.
(8) Therefore, the Doppler signal from a strong reflector distant from the center of the sample volume may mask the signal of a weak reflector located within the center.
(9) Moreover, strong echo-reflectors, such as calcification or prosthetic heart valves, create large acoustic shadowing effects behind which obtaining an ultrasound signal is difficult if not impossible.
(10) An even bigger motorcade collected us at the airport, security men in reflector shades jumping out and opening doors as our cars slowed down.
(11) Environmental noxious agents initiate hyper-reflectoric reactions of the mucosa, which seems to be the most impressive factor causing the change in rhinological diseases nowadays.
(12) The model includes magnitude and position of specular echoes, a random description of echoes from diffuse reflectors, and a parametric characterization of attenuation.
(13) Buried in the berm will be radar reflectors, magnets and a “Storage Room”, constructed around a stone slab too big to be removed via the chamber entrance.
(14) The use of levels of plasma HVA as a noninvasive reflector of DA function provides a research strategy for longitudinal studies of neuroleptic effects in schizophrenia.
