Generally a reflection of light or sound/changing of direction when passing from one medium to another of different optical density.
Some examples:
a)Light that bounces off the internal wall(s) of the diamond
b)Changes in the direction of energy propagation as a result of density changes within the propagating medium. In weather terms, this is important on determining how a radar beam reacts in the atmosphere.
c)The bending of a wave when it crosses a boundary between media due to a change in velocity of the wave. Until it reaches the ionosphere, a radio wave propagates in a straight line. Once in the ionosphere, it may be refracted back towards the ground
d)In Metallurgy, refraction is a property of metals that indicates their ability to withstand heat. Metals with a high degree of refraction are referred to as refractory. These metals derive their high melting points from their strong intermolecular forces
d)the process whereby radiation experiences a change in direction as a result of a change in density of the medium or media through which it travels
e)Test to determine an eye's refractive error and the best corrective lenses to be prescribed.

What is the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of of refraction known as?
The COEFFICIENT of Refraction.
Does the index of refraction equal the angle of refraction?
Not exactly, the angle of refraction = the angle of incidence, which means the ratio of sine of angle of incidence to the sine of angle of refraction is constant for two media. That is sin i /sin r = constant , and this constant is called refractive index
What is mathematical refraction?
Mathematical refraction is when we use the mathematical formula to calculate the velocity of light as it passes from one medium to another.

What is the suffix for refraction?
The suffix for refraction is "-tion".
Which is better reflection or refraction?
Refraction is better.
What is it called when a wave goes from one medium to another and it changes speed and direction?
It is called refraction. Refraction occurs when a wave changes speed and direction as it travels from one medium to another, due to the change in its wave velocity and the change in the medium's optical density.
How do you think increasing a medium's index of refraction might affect the angle of refraction?
Increasing the medium's index of refraction will cause the angle of refraction to decrease. This is because light bends more towards the normal as it enters a medium with a higher index of refraction.
How does the angle of refraction change as the index of refraction of the bottom material increases?
As the index of refraction of the bottom material increases, the angle of refraction will decrease. This relationship is governed by Snell's Law, which states that the angle of refraction is inversely proportional to the index of refraction. Therefore, higher index of refraction causes light to bend less when entering a denser medium.
What is it called when a seismic wave bends as it passes from liquid to solid rock.?
it is called refraction
How does refraction affect the appearance of the sky?
The sky is blue because of refraction. Sunsets and sunrise are so beautiful because of refraction. If there was no refraction, we would see the sky as a black expanse.
What is the root word for refraction?
Refraction is a noun.
When was Super Refraction created?
Super Refraction was created in 1997.
If the angle of incidence increases and the indexes of refraction stay the same what happens to the angle of refraction?
The angle if refraction also increases.
