To change direction
refract
When a ray of light or a sound wave refracts or is refracted, the path it follows bends at a particular point, for example when it enters water or glass. As we age the lenses of the eyes thicken, and thus refract light differently. surfaces that cause the light to reflect and refract. + refraction re·frac·tion the refraction of the light on the dancing waves. if glass or water refracts light, the light changes direction when it passes through the glass or water (past participle of refringere , from frangere )

refract
