refraction

The Shield utilises these same principles of 'refraction' to deflect the electromagnetic radiation waves that emanate from even the ‘safe’ monitors.

The disagreement concerns one of the most fundamental and best-known phenomena in optics - 'refraction' .

Central to the concept of a perfect lens is the phenomenon called 'refraction' , which occurs when electromagnetic waves, including light, bend slightly when passing from one material into another.

Although it has long been known that a rainbow is produced by the dispersion of white light through rain droplets via 'refraction' , there is far more to this optical phenomenon than first meets the eye.

He produced several other papers on light, the most important being in 1839 when he applied methods used by Green to study reflection and 'refraction' of waves at a surface.

This volume contains a study of pressure and density, astronomical 'refraction' , barometric pressure and the transmission of gravity based on this new philosophy of physics.

But perhaps the most immediately accessible phenomenon from an experimental or computational point of view is the reversal of wave 'refraction' , illustrated in figure 2.

What may be the most impressive adaptation of archerfish is their ability to learn to overcome the physics of the 'refraction' of light passing from air into water.

The first is a different 'refraction' for the two polarization components at the lens surfaces, which causes a ray bifurcation at each lens.

Because of the effect of wave 'refraction' , the plan shape of crenulated coasts can attain an equilibrium state.
