Light refracts when it passes across the boundary of two media having different optical densities (refractive indexes). If the light stated in the question had done this, then it is refracted.

Do mirrors reflect or refract light?
A prism refracts light, and a mirror reflects light.
How do mirrors and lenses compare in their interaction with light?
Mirrors reflect light; lenses do not. APEX 0-0
Do hand lens refract light?
Yes, hand lens reflect light.
How do binoculars refract liht?
The lenses in binoculars do -- that's how focusng works.
What are things that don't reflect light?
everything does. theoretically the only thing that does not refract light would be something that is pure black, although it is doubtful it is physically possible to make something that does that.Additional answerI presume you mean balloons. I also think you might mean reflect rather than refract, because why would a balloon refract light?
Do mirrors reflect or refract light?
A prism refracts light, and a mirror reflects light.
Can mirrors cameras telescope and eye glasses refract light?
Mirrors don't refract, they reflect. All lenses, on the other hand, refract (bend) the light. All cameras have lenses, to focus the image; same for eyeglasses. Some telescopes have lenses, but others are collections of mirrors. Note that some few optical elements are lenses and mirrors - like prescription sunglasses with mirror coating.
What lenses refract light rays in toward a central point?
Convex lenses refract light rays in towards a central point. =()>
Should eyeglasses reflect or refract light into the eye?
Refract light. They only reflect when you see a glare or ghost image
Do lenses transmit and refract light?
Yes.
Will a camera refract light?
Cameras do not refract light, lenses do. Refraction occurs whenever light passes from one medium to another, so it is not something that only occurs with lenses.
Does the microscope refract or reflect light?
It refracts light
Does water refract or reflect light?
Both
What lenses refract light outward and are thinner in the middle?
its a concave lens(:
Do all lenses refract the light passes through them?
yes
Do eyeglasses reflect or refract light?
yes sometimes they do.
Do X-rays refract or reflect light?
yes they do
