waves and water waves also experience refraction. How much a wave is refracted is determined by the change in wave speed and the initial direction of...

Light Refracted is a two-movement composition for chamber ensemble by the American composer Jennifer Higdon. It was first performed on September 22, 2002...

vacuum to the speed in the medium. The refractive index determines how much the path of light is bent, or refracted, when entering a material. This is described...

between media, depending upon the relative refractive indices of the two media, the light will either be refracted to a lesser angle, or a greater one. These...

a caustic or caustic network is the envelope of light rays which have been reflected or refracted by a curved surface or object, or the projection of...

rainbow is caused by light being refracted when entering a droplet of water, then reflected inside on the back of the droplet and refracted again when leaving...

Light, visible light, or visible radiation is electromagnetic radiation that can be perceived by the human eye. Visible light spans the visible spectrum...

light in glass travels at ⁠c/1.5⁠ ≈ 200000 km/s (124000 mi/s); the refractive index of air for visible light is about 1.0003, so the speed of light in...

sulfate to light refracted through a prism, the solution glowed when exposed to the mysterious invisible-light (now known to be UV light) beyond the...

the shower of natural light, with light refracted by a crystal prism sculpture turning into a rainbow of ‘flowers made of light’. In the absence of physical...

propagating electromagnetic wave would normally be expected (such as light refracted at the interface between glass and air), the term is invoked to describe...

green light at full intensity. White light refracted in a prism revealing the color components. In 1666, Isaac Newton demonstrated that white light was...

Refractive error is a problem with focusing light accurately on the retina due to the shape of the eye and/or cornea. The most common types of refractive...

of the z-axis. Incoming light is confined to a solid angle dΩΣ and reaches dS at an angle θΣ to its normal. Refracted light is confined to a solid angle...

the Earth's shadow blocks any direct light from striking the Moon during a lunar eclipse, some light is refracted through the Earth's atmosphere giving...

optical phenomenon that can be captured on camera, since light rays are actually refracted to form the false image at the observer's location. What the...

"strung together [a]re a sparkling strand of precious stones, the light refracted from each equally brilliant but the tones varying subtly." Heller McAlpin...

θcr), the angle of refraction approaches 90° (that is, the refracted ray approaches a tangent to the interface), and the refracted ray becomes fainter...

Brakhage made the feature-length The Text of Light, consisting entirely of images of light refracted in a glass ashtray. In 1979, he experimented with...

polarization (extraordinary ray) will be refracted toward somewhat different paths. Natural light, so-called unpolarized light, consists of equal amounts of energy...

demonstrates that color arises from a physical property of light – each hue is refracted at a characteristic angle by a prism or lens – but he clearly...

often close-up views of organic forms, such as circular flowers and light refracted through ice, that share an affinity with visual themes in his mature...

radiators. The refracted light in the glass is the combination of the forward radiation of the electrons and the incident light. The reflected light is the combination...

photography Alex Hong, had light "travel through water trays on top of the aquarium structure." Durst added that "These refracted the light spilling on the actors...

virtual image 6. The objective in a refracting telescope refracts or bends light. This refraction causes parallel light rays to converge at a focal point;...

the crystals are responsible for the type of halo observed. Light is reflected and refracted by the ice crystals and may split into colors because of dispersion...

Atmospheric refraction is the deviation of light or other electromagnetic wave from a straight line as it passes through the atmosphere due to the variation...

element the angle with which light is refracted depends on its wavelength. This leads to a spectrum of thin lines of light, each being observable at a...

lens is squeezed in a different way to compensate for differences in light refraction underwater, and so the shape of the ring can be different than those...

long wavelength light (i.e. red) from the sun hits the iceberg, it is absorbed rather than reflected. The light transmitted or refracted through the ice...
