01
the amount by which a propagating wave is bent
02
the bending of the wave's path as it passes from one medium to another; caused by a change in its speed or direction
Example
The refraction of light through the water created a rainbow effect.
The scientist studied the refraction of waves as they entered different materials.
The optical illusion was caused by the refraction of light through the glass.
Engineers designed the lens with precise curvature to achieve optimal light refraction.
Refraction causes objects underwater to appear closer than they actually are.
