A reflex is an involuntary response to an external stimulus, usually to protect the body. A reflex is much faster than a reaction. A reaction is a voluntary response to an external stimulus, and can be trained to become faster through regular practice. An example of a reflex is when the tendon below the kneecap is gently tapped. This causes the leg to kick slightly forward. This reflex is involuntary. An example of a reaction is a hockey goalie catching a hockey puck. This reaction is voluntary.

A conscious response is something you choose to do (e.g. waving to a friend) whereas a reflex response is something your body does automatically (e.g. move your hand away when you touch a hot plate)

There is no difference between the two terms. Either term refers to how much time it takes for a reaction to occur.

What is the difference between Doppler and Sonar?

Doppler is the name given to the falling (or rising) note heard when a tonal signal approaches and then recedes.Sonar may or may not use Doppler as part of its signal, but essentially a Sonar system emits a sharp chirp of signal and times its return period as an indication of the distance.Cleverly enough, some moths have evolved so that when they detect a (bats) sonar ping, their flight muscles turn them away from the sonar chirp. This is a reflex, not a trained reaction.
