Word | Refraction |
Nepali Meaning | अपवर्तन |
the amount by which a propagating wave is bent / the change in direction of a propagating wave (light or sound) when passing from one medium to another / The act of refracting, or the state of being refracted. / bending of a ray of light / the fact or phenomenon of light, radio waves, etc., being deflected in passing obliquely through the interface between one medium and another or through a medium of varying density. / deflection from a straight path undergone by a light ray or energy wave in passing obliquely from one medium (as air) into another (as glass) in which its velocity is different / the change in the apparent position of a celestial body due to bending of the light rays emanating from it as they pass through the atmosphere; also : the correction to be applied to the apparent position of a body because of this bending / the action of distorting an image by viewing through a medium; also : an instance of this / : the deflection from a straight path undergone by a light ray or a wave of energy in passing obliquely from one medium (as air) into another (as water or glass) in which its velocity is different / a: the refractive power of the eye b: the act or technique of determining ocular refraction and identifying abnormalities as a basis for the prescription of corrective lenses, | |
Usage | ⇒ A pencil held in the water will appear to bend,showing refraction(of light) ⇒ When you look at a stick inserted in water, it looks bent because of the refraction of the light by the water. ⇒ The disagreement concerns one of the most fundamental and best-known phenomena in optics - refraction . |
