In addition to our other problems, we must also contend with transmission (with attenuation), reflection, refraction, diffraction, absorption, and scattering. In addition to our other problems, we ...

This work achieves the refraction and reflection of flexoelectric-induced directrons at interfaces. With identical physical properties of the media on both sides of the interface, as well as uniform ...

When a wave or light ray moves from one medium to another its speed changes. The direction of the ray may also change. This property of waves is called refraction and commonly occurs with light rays.

Diffraction occurs when a wave encounters an obstruction in its path and will change direction, or wrap around it. In ocean waves, we see this occur when a wave encounters an object like a jetty and ...

We have again elucidated the mechanism of Bloch wave refraction in electron diffraction and shown that the phase term of the deviated diffraction peaks by high energy electrons will disappear in the ...

Abstract: The refraction-diffraction of surface waves due to porous variable depth has been the subject of many investigations. In the present study, we extend the boundary-value problem of ...

This video looks at the refraction of light and demonstrates how refraction can make the handle of a Pyrex jug seemingly disappear.
