To change direction as a result of entering a different medium
To cause (light) to change direction as a result of entering a different medium

A prism can refract light.

to bend or turn from a direct course
{v} to break the course of rays
To bend sharply and abruptly back; to break off
To break the natural course of, as rays of light orr heat, when passing from one transparent medium to another of different density; to cause to deviate from a direct course by an action distinct from reflection; as, a dense medium refrcts the rays of light as they pass into it from a rare medium
To cause (light) to change direction as a result of entering a diffrent medium
Bend or slant rays of light
To bend or change direction
{f} cause energy or light waves to bend as they pass from one medium into a second medium in which the energy travels at a different speed
determine the refracting power of (a lens)
subject to refraction; "refract a light beam"
To change direction
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 )
determine the refracting power of (a lens) subject to refraction; "refract a light beam
To cause a change in direction of a ray of light so that it appears to bend
When light bends at an interface between two transparent materials We find many things in our everyday experience refracting light: glass, water, air, plastic The illusion of a broken leg dangling in the pool is due to the refraction of light See also index of refraction
