The light refracts through the prisms. verb. Refract is defined as to cause sound, light or heat to bounce back in a straight line. An example of refract is for a mirror to cause a light beam to bounce back. refract. refract.
Light refracts whenever it travels at an angle into a substance with a different refractive index (optical density). This change of direction is caused by a change in speed. For example, when light travels from air into water, it slows down, causing it to continue to travel at a different angle or direction.ideo: Refraction. Refraction is the bending of light (it also happens with sound, water and other waves) as it passes from one transparent substance into another. This bending by refraction makes it possible for us to have lenses, magnifying glasses, prisms and rainbows.
