Definitions for refracts
  • Refract (n.) - To bend sharply and abruptly back; to break off.
  • Refract (n.) - 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.
  • Refractable (a.) - Capable of being refracted.
  • Refracted (a.) - Bent backward angularly, as if half-broken; as, a refracted stem or leaf.
  • Refracted (a.) - Turned from a direct course by refraction; as, refracted rays of light.
  • Refracted (imp. & p. p.) - of Refract

  • Refracting (p. pr. & vb. n.) - of Refract
  • Refracting (a.) - Serving or tending to refract; as, a refracting medium.
  • Refraction (n.) - The act of refracting, or the state of being refracted.
  • Refraction (n.) - The change in the direction of ray of light, heat, or the like, when it enters obliquely a medium of a different density from that through which it has previously moved.
  • Refraction (n.) - The change in the direction of a ray of light, and, consequently, in the apparent position of a heavenly body from which it emanates, arising from its passage through the earth's atmosphere; -- hence distinguished as atmospheric refraction, or astronomical refraction.
  • Refraction (n.) - The correction which is to be deducted from the apparent altitude of a heavenly body on account of atmospheric refraction, in order to obtain the true altitude.
