It is by no means an easy one: the heat of a ray of light, refracted by a prism, is so small, that it requires a very delicate thermometer to distinguish the difference of the degree of heat within and without the spectrum.
For in this experiment the heat is not totally separated from the light, each coloured ray retaining a certain portion of it, though the greatest part is not sufficiently refracted to fall within the spectrum.
The rays from the star fall upon the object-glass at the end of the telescope, and on passing through they become refracted into a converging beam, so that all intersect at the focus.
A red ray is not refracted so much as a yellow ray; a yellow ray is not refracted so much as a blue one.
The law of "refracted rays" (the constancy of the ratio between the sines of incidence and of refraction for each refracting substance) was ascertained by direct measurement, and therefore by the Method of Agreement.
If the judgment of the eye is situated within it, the straight lines of the images are refracted on its surface because they pass through the rarer to the denser medium.
These worked away gayly, and the white men set up a sorting table, and sorted the stuff, and hammered the nodules, and at last found a little stone as big as a pea that refracted the light.
He looked at it, and looked, and saw that it refracted the light.
There was a conspicuous mountain, which now bore north-east about fifty miles away, and I fancied I saw the refracted tops of other ranges floating in the mirage.
In moonlight I have seen these sandhills, a few miles away, shining like snowy mountains, being refracted to an unnatural altitude by the bright moonlight.
The light falling upon this reflected, refracted and dispersed, seemed to convert it into a liquid and faintly throbbing lake of color, cut up into segments by the dark lanes or streets of trees.
The higher ranges of the Elburz are snow-capped for the greater part of the year, and some, which are not exposed to the refracted heat from the arid districts of inner Persia, are rarely without snow.
On the roof, however, it was possible to make out at least outlines, for the dormer trap had been left open at the head of the stairs, and from somewhere within the depths of the house there stole up a faint refracted light.
In viewing objects very near the eye, the ciliary processes are called into action to produce a proper inclination of the crystalline lens, so that the rays of light may be properly refracted to form a perfect image on the retina.
The more convex a lens is, the shorter the distance from the refracting medium, where the different refractedrays converge to a focus.
In this figure, R indicates the line, through the principal axis, at which the red rays refracted by lens 1 alone would strike; and V, the line where the violet rays would be projected.
Figure 82 is an illustration of how both refracted and reflected rays may be several times reflected.
An achromatic prism is one made up of two kinds of glass of different dispersive powers by which a ray of light may berefracted without showing color.
This angle varies with different substances and is the angle at which the refracted ray of light skims along the surface and does not pass out.
The light which is thus refracted and dispersed by one prism may be gathered again by another, as shown in Figure 93, but the light rays after passing through the second prism will be exactly parallel to the ray striking the first.
He could understand the rays being refracted by the crystal and coming to a focus in its interior, but this diffusion jarred with his physical conceptions.
A vast range of buildings spread below him; he seemed to be looking down upon them; and, as they approached the blurred and refracted edge of the picture, they became indistinct.
The line C D is another ray, inclined from the perpendicular, and entering the water at an angle, does not pass in the straight line indicated by the dotted line, but is refracted or bent towards the perpendicular at D E.
Rays falling at an angle on A B, are refracted and diverged.
Rays falling at an angle on A B, refractedto focus, F.
The rays of light are refracted in a visible manner when received on a concave or convex lens, provided a little smoke from paper is employed, as in the mirror experiments.
By rotating the analyser, the reflected and refracted rays change colours, and if the former is red and the latter green, by moving the analyser round 90 deg.
Goddard's oxy-hydrogen polariscope is one of the most convenient, because either the reflected or refracted polarized rays can be rendered available; it consists of the apparatus shown at Fig.
The double convex glass to focus E, the image on the disc, and portion refracted at B.
When a good sharp outline of the arrow is obtained on the disc, a portion of the rays of light producing it may then be truly broken out or refracted by laying across the brass arrow a square bar of plate glass.
Each typical ray as refractedis marked by a letter of its own.
His Diversion on this Occasion was to see the cross Bows, mistaken Signs, and wrong Connivances that passed amidst so many broken and refracted Rays of Sight.
The rule upon this subject is this; when a ray of light passes from a rare into a dense medium, it is refracted towards the perpendicular; when from a dense into a rare medium, it is refracted from the perpendicular.
A B, by diminishing the divergence of the rays, before they enter the pupil C, makes them fall parallel on the crystalline humour D, by which they are refracted to a focus on the retina, at R R.
Rays from any object, falling upon it under different angles, are, consequently, refracted in various ways, and thus produce the distortion you have observed.
How is a ray refracted in passing obliquely from air into water?
And could there be no contrivance, to convey the rays of objects viewed, close to the eye, so that they should be refracted to a focus on the retina?
Why the incident and refracted Rays produce one another reciprocally.
Therefore if one prolongs the refracted rays CI, Ci, until they meet the tangent ML at T and t, the distances MT, Mt, will also be equal.
Sometimes the hilly islands and the palm-trees project their broad shadows; sometimes the rays of the setting sun are refracted in the cloud that hangs over the cataract, and coloured arcs are formed which vanish and appear alternately.
The sonorous undulations are divided, as the rays of light are refracted and form the mirage wherever strata of air of unequal density are contiguous.
They can be reflected by plain sheets of metal, concentrated by parabolic reflectors, refracted by prisms, and concentrated by lenses.
It travels at the same pace, it is reflected and refracted according to the same laws; every experiment known to optics can be performed with this etherial radiation electrically produced,--and yet you cannot see it.
This I suppose was owing to the thinness of the stratum of mist, in which I was immersed; had it been thicker, the colours refractedby the small drops, of which a fog consists, would not have passed through it down to my eye.
The rays of light having passed through the slit, and having become parallel, are refracted and dispersed in the prism, and the spectrum formed is observed through the eye-piece of the other telescope B.
A curved formed by the consecutive intersections of rays of light refracted through a lens.
Pertaining to the science or doctrine of refracted sounds.
Light entering a denser medium is refracted from, entering a lighter medium is refracted toward, a line drawn at right angles to its surface.
In rainbows, light is both refractedand reflected.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "refracted" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word. Other words: diffuse; dispersed; distorted; scattered; skew; skewed
