refraction
折折射率,折折射,折射率,折射
Definitions
- 1
- : Physics. the change of direction of a ray of light, sound, heat, or the like, in passing obliquely from one medium into another in which its wave velocity is different.
- : Ophthalmology. the ability of the eye to refract light that enters it so as to form an image on the retina.the determining of the refractive condition of the eye.
- : Astronomy. Also called astronomical refraction. the amount, in angular measure, by which the altitude of a celestial body is increased by the refraction of its light in the earth's atmosphere, being zero at the zenith and a maximum at the horizon.the observed altered location, as seen from the earth, of another planet or the like due to diffraction by the atmosphere.
Examples
The film isn’t even purely the Hamiltonian refraction of history through a modern lens — although I think Sorkin wanted it to be.
That refraction separates the colors and sends them out of the raindrop heading in slightly different directions.
It is like looking through moving media of changing hue and variable refraction at something vitally unstable.
Such were the different false hypotheses which Kepler made respecting the law of the refraction of light.
It deals with the sources of light, reflection, refraction, and decomposition of light.
I had with me an admirable Hadleys sextant, and an artificial horizon, and I corrected the mean refraction of the suns rays.
Accurately taken, the statistics should give the condition of refraction at the age at which the squint begins.
