n ),
n . [
F .

fraction .]
1 .
The act of refracting ,
or the state of being refracted .
[
1913 Webster ]
2 .
The change in the direction of ray of light ,
heat ,
or the like ,
when it enters obliquely a medium of a different density from that through which it has previously moved .
[
1913 Webster ]
Refraction out of the rarer medium into the denser ,
is made towards the perpendicular . --
Sir I .
Newton .
[
1913 Webster ]
3 . (
Astron .)
(
a )
The change in the direction of a ray of light ,
and ,
consequently ,
in the apparent position of a heavenly body from which it emanates ,
arising from its passage through the earth '
s atmosphere ; --
hence distinguished as atmospheric refraction ,
or astronomical refraction .
(
b )
The correction which is to be deducted from the apparent altitude of a heavenly body on account of atmospheric refraction ,
in order to obtain the true altitude .
[
1913 Webster ]
{
Angle of refraction } (
Opt .),
the angle which a refracted ray makes with the perpendicular to the surface separating the two media traversed by the ray .
{
Conical refraction } (
Opt .),
the refraction of a ray of light into an infinite number of rays ,
forming a hollow cone .
This occurs when a ray of light is passed through crystals of some substances ,
under certain circumstances .
Conical refraction is of two kinds ;
external conical refraction ,
in which the ray issues from the crystal in the form of a cone ,
the vertex of which is at the point of emergence ;
and internal conical refraction ,
in which the ray is changed into the form of a cone on entering the crystal ,
from which it issues in the form of a hollow cylinder .
This singular phenomenon was first discovered by Sir W .
R .
Hamilton by mathematical reasoning alone ,
unaided by experiment .
{
Differential refraction } (
Astron .),
the change of the apparent place of one object relative to a second object near it ,
due to refraction ;
also ,
the correction required to be made to the observed relative places of the two bodies .
{
Double refraction } (
Opt .),
the refraction of light in two directions ,
which produces two distinct images .
The power of double refraction is possessed by all crystals except those of the isometric system .
A uniaxial crystal is said to be optically positive (
like quartz ),
or optically negative (
like calcite ),
or to have positive ,
or negative ,
double refraction ,
according as the optic axis is the axis of least or greatest elasticity for light ;
a biaxial crystal is similarly designated when the same relation holds for the acute bisectrix .
{
Index of refraction }.
See under {
Index }.
{
Refraction circle } (
Opt .),
an instrument provided with a graduated circle for the measurement of refraction .
{
Refraction of latitude }, {
longitude }, {
declination }, {
right ascension },
etc .,
the change in the apparent latitude ,
longitude ,
etc .,
of a heavenly body ,
due to the effect of atmospheric refraction .
{
Terrestrial refraction },
the change in the apparent altitude of a distant point on or near the earth '
s surface ,
as the top of a mountain ,
arising from the passage of light from it to the eye through atmospheric strata of varying density .
[
1913 Webster ]

a compass arranged for finding the declination of the magnetic needle .
{

or {

the horizontal angle which the magnetic needle makes with the true north -
