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.

Refracting is the bending of light (or more generally, any waves... such as sound, water, or light). When light passes from one substance to another, it changes speed, which causes it to bend and travel at a different angle. An object viewed through two different substances will appear to be in a different location. For instance, when looking at a fish in water, refraction of the light will cause the fish to appear to be in a different location than it actually is.
What is Refraction?? What is Refraction??
you measure the angel...tehn find the refraction
The COEFFICIENT 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
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 Refraction?? What is Refraction??
refraction
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.
Refraction is better.
The suffix for refraction is "-tion".
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.
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.
it is called refraction
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.
Super Refraction was created in 1997.
Refraction is a noun.
The angle if refraction also increases.
