Definitions for Refraction

[1] Physics . the change of direction of a ray of light, sound, heat, or the like, in passing obliquely from one medium into another in which its wave velocity is different.
[2] Ophthalmology . the ability of the eye to refract light that enters it so as to form an image on the retina. the determining of the refractive condition of the eye.
[3] Astronomy . Also called astronomical refraction. the amount, in angular measure, by which the altitude of a celestial body is increased by the refraction of its light in the earth's atmosphere, being zero at the zenith and a maximum at the horizon. the observed altered location, as seen from the earth, of another planet or the like due to diffraction by the atmosphere.
[4] physics the change in direction of a propagating wave, such as light or sound, in passing from one medium to another in which it has a different velocity
[5] the amount by which a wave is refracted
[6] the ability of the eye to refract light
[7] the determination of the refractive condition of the eye
