Similarly, many a young man, hearing for the first time of the refraction of stellar light, has thought that doubt was cast on the whole of astronomy, whereas nothing is required but an easily effected and unimportant correction to put everything right again.

I care very much what the fans think. I'm starting to loosen my grip on caring about what critics say, because I think that critics care about what fans think of them, too, so there's a little bit of a refraction there, through that glass.

American Writer

Peter Higgs

The model I came up with in 1964 is just the invention of a rather strange sort of medium that looks the same in all directions and produces a kind of refraction that is a little bit more complicated than that of light in glass or water.

British Physicist

Neil Blumenthal

Exploring emerging technologies like new refraction technology will enable people to get prescriptions cheaper and more conveniently, which will, in turn, provide increased access to prescription glasses.

I think characters are going to be, if not a reflection of the author, at least some refraction of some part of their personality.

American Author

Refraction can be deceptive, making objects appear differently than where they are actually situated.

Reality versus Perception

Different materials cause light to refract in different ways; this is why objects look distorted under water.

Type of Medium Matters

Refraction occurs in everyday life, such as the bending of light creating rainbows.

Natural Occurrence

Refraction is essential in identifying vision problems and prescribing the correct eyeglasses or contact lenses.

Eye Health Indicator

Refraction related to vision doesn't involve bending light actively, but measures how eyes naturally bend light.

Common Misconceptions

Refraction relates to all waves, so sound traveling through different environments also undergoes refraction.

Not Just Visual

Refraction is closely related to the angles of entry and exit when a wave enters a new medium.

 a beautiful because you know usually the reason that dusk is so pink is that the Sun is setting low on horizon in lots of atmosphere atmosphere away an atmosphere turns things kind of pinkish oranges and since the Sun is high in the sky we're seeing it through the typical apps right you don't have the refraction that you

 Today, glasses can help millions of people with poor vision due to uncorrected refractive errors. The key to understanding what that means lies with the term refraction, the ability of a transparent medium, like glass, water,
