Application of refraction in physics?

One interesting application is the use of lenses, for example in telescopes and microscopes. Lenses use refraction to concentrate light.Another application is the use of radio waves for communication. Radio waves are often said to be reflected back from the upper atmosphere, but I understand that this is not really reflection, but refraction.


Which is more important refraction or reflection?

Possibly reflection inasmuch as most of us use mirrors everyday for grooming ourselves. However, without refraction microscopes and the study of most disease organisms would have been much more difficult, and without refraction we would not have the pleasure of television and other uses of camera lenses.


Does the periscope use reflection or refraction?

Yes! Actually it is determined by how the periscope was made. The cheap ones often sold around parades and large crowds are made of cardboard and mirrors, using reflection to provide a view. More sophisticated devices in submarines and tanks will use prisms to bend the light, using refraction to change the direction of the light and provide magnification.


Does a camera use reflection or refraction?

A camera primarily uses refraction to focus light onto the sensor/film. Lenses in the camera refract light to create a sharp image, adjusting focus by changing the distance between the lens elements. Reflection may occur within the camera, such as off mirrors or other internal components, but it is not the primary mechanism for forming the image.


What are the applications of refraction in daily life?

Refraction is used in daily life in various ways, such as eyeglasses and contact lenses that use lenses to correct vision problems, cameras and microscopes use lenses to focus light onto sensors or film, and fiber optics use refraction to transmit information through thin strands of glass or plastic. Refraction is also used in the design of car windshields and camera lenses to control the way light passes through and focuses.

Why you use red ray to reflect from the prism?

The question seems to be based on a misunderstanding. A prism is used primarily for refraction, not reflection. Second, you can (and do) use light of any colour, not just red.

What is the definition of night vision goggles?

Night vision goggles use special technology to amplify the tiny amounts of natural light that's usually always around into levels that our own eyes can use.
