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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Most people know that light travels in a straight line unless something acts upon it to change its direction. The three most common methods of changing the direction of light are refraction, ...

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