Earwigs eat aphids and several other harmful pests as well as hosta leaves. Some gardeners put up with the damage and leave the earwigs in the garden to control other pests. You can control earwigs with traps. Place a piece of crumpled paper under a flowerpot or use a tube of paper or bamboo as a trap.
In optics, refraction is a phenomenon that often occurs when waves travel from a medium with a given refractive index to a medium with another at an oblique angle. At the boundary between the media, the wave's phase velocity is altered, usually causing a change in direction.
With respect to the image of a microscope specimen, refraction of light by the objective lens enhances __________. refers to the apparent size of the specimen when viewed through the microscope. Light bends at the convex surfaces of the objective lens, causing light rays to diverge and radiate outward. This divergence of light creates an image of the specimen that is larger than what would normally be seen by the naked eye.
