	Refraction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Refraction is the change in direction of a wave due to a change in its speed.
		Refraction of light is the most commonly seen example, but any type of wave can refract when it interacts with a medium, for example when sound waves pass from one medium into another.
		Refraction is also responsible for rainbows and for the splitting of white light into a rainbow-spectrum as it passes through a glass prism.

	refraction - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about refraction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Refraction is the bending of a light beam when it passes from one transparent medium to another.
		The amount of refraction depends on the densities of the media, the angle at which the wave strikes the surface of the second medium, and the amount of bending and change of velocity corresponding to the wave's frequency (dispersion).
		Refraction occurs with all types of progressive waves – electromagnetic waves, sound waves, and water waves – and differs from reflection, which involves no change in velocity.

		Refraction in geometric optics is the change in direction of a wave due to a change in velocity.
		Refraction is also responsible for rainbows and for splitting up of white light into a rainbow-spectrum as it passes through a glass prism.
		Glass has a higher refractive index than air and the different frequencies of light travel at different speeds (dispersion), causing them to be refracted at different angles.

	Mineral (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The degree of slowing, referred to as the index of refraction, may be expressed as the ratio of the speed of light in air to the speed in a given mineral.
		For example, light travels at 299 330 km per second (km/s) in air (refractive index 1) but slows down to 123 916 km/s in diamond (ie, light travels 2.41 times as fast in air); hence the refractive index of diamond is 2.41.
		To determine the refractive index, mineralogists use the petrographic (polarizing) microscope; gemologists, the refractometer.

		Refraction explains the apparent bending of a pencil when it is partly immersed in water and viewed from above the surface.
		For angles of incidence greater than the critical angle, refraction cannot take place and the incident ray is instead reflected back into the original medium according to the law of reflection (angle of reflection equals angle of incidence).
		A prism uses refraction to form a spectrum of colors from an incident beam of light.

	Thick, impact resistant antireflection coatings for IR transparent optical elements - Patent 4907846
		At this designed for wavelength, therefore, the index of refraction of the first layer may be significantly different than the index of refraction of the base without any significant impact on the optical properties of the optical element at least at the designed for wavelength.
		The amplitude of the ripple is related to the degree of mismatch between the index of refraction of the optical element and the index of refraction of the protective coating layer 14.
		For a material having an index of refraction matched to the index of refraction of the material the substrate over the optical wavelength range of interest, the ripple would vanish and it would thus be equivalent to the half wavelength cerium oxide layer thickness, as shown.

	William Hyde Wollaston
		In the early 1800's he developed a physico-chemical method for the processing of Platinum ore, which made him a wealthy man and led him to the discovery of the chemical elements Palladium (1803) and Rhodium (1804).
		He invented various optical instruments for the measurement of angles between crystal planes, of the refraction index of transparent solids, and to aid in accurate microscopic observations.
		He noticed these while carrying out optical experiments aimed at determining refractive indices of various transparent substances, but did not attach great importance to this discovery, leaving it to Joseph von Fraunhofer to rediscover and study them in great details fifteen years later.

		The scientific study of material properties has been most advanced in the areas of metallurgy and ceramics due to the importance of metal tools and structures as well as clay and glass objects in the technical progress of civilization.
		For most commercial glass this has little consequence, but in optical glass the result can be birefringence (different index of refraction in different directions).
		However, just as cryoprotectants are introduced to reduce or eliminate crystal formation, other additives may be found in cryonics which can alter material properties such as thermal expansivity, thermal conductivity stiffness or fracture strength such that liquid nitrogen temperature storage without cracking may be possible.

		The nanorods are an example of materials that are able to reverse a phenomenon called refraction, which occurs as electromagnetic waves, including light, bend when passing from one material into another and is caused by a change in the speed of light as it passes from one medium into another.
