Note that the astronaut's image in the bubble is inverted because of refraction.

In a conducting medium, permittivity and index of refraction are complex-valued.

Refraction is when sunlight bends as it moves from air into water and vice versa.

A rainbow is still a rainbow even if we now appreciate it is due to refraction.

Refraction occurs when light is bent when it passes from one medium to another.

The index of refraction is a way of measuring the speed of light in a material.

- The change in direction of a propagating wave (light or sound) when passing from one medium to another
- Deflection: the amount by which a propagating wave is bent
- (refractive) of or relating to or capable of refraction; "the refractive characteristics of the eye"
- (refractive) deflective: capable of changing the direction (of a light or sound wave)
- 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. ...
- The turning or bending of any wave, such as a light or sound wave, when it passes from one medium into another of different optical density; The degree to which a metal or compound can withstand heat
- (Refractions) 1989, 1999. Piano. [Manuscript]
- (refracting) (ri-FRAKT-ing): bending or changing direction
- The bending of light as it passes from one medium to another
