- Subject to refraction; "refract a light beam"
- Determine the refracting power of (a lens)
- (refraction) the change in direction of a propagating wave (light or sound) when passing from one medium to another
- (refraction) deflection: the amount by which a propagating wave is bent
- (Refraction (metallurgy)) In metallurgy, refraction is a property of metals that indicates their ability to withstand heat. Metals with a high degree of refraction are referred to as refractory. These metals derive their high melting points from their strong intermolecular forces. ...

- (refracting) (ri-FRAKT-ing): bending or changing direction
- (Refraction) test for the eyes' ability to focus light rays properly on the retina at distances and close by.
- (Refraction) The degree of nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism is determined during this test. A series of lenses are used and adjusted before your eyes to determine the best correction.
