Do animals use refraction?
In general, the process refraction only occurs in the eyes (as far as I know). So I assume you are asking how animals use refraction in their eyes, and by "refraction" you mean the refraction of light. In general, when light enters the eyes, it first enters the cornea of the eyes, which is then refracted into the pupil through the aqueous humor. The thickness and convexity of the lens control how the light is refracted into the eye. The light is focused on the retina which has rods and cone (photoreceptors/light sensors) which sends nerve impulses to the brain. Therefore, the animal is able to see. The parts of the eyes that does the refraction are the cornea, aqueous humor, lens, and the vitreous humor. You might want to surf the web for more details about this
When is refraction used for in a play or how could you use refraction in a theatrical production?
Its used when the light is transmitted out of the light source.. Genius
How does refraction change light?
What is Refraction?? What is Refraction??
How would you use refraction in a sentence?
The location of the fish in the water is not where it seems to be, due to the refraction of light in the water.
What principle of light a magnifying glass make use of?
The refraction.
When the mineral uvarovite has an index of refraction of 1.86. calculate the speed of light in this sample of uvarovite?
Use the definition of "index of refraction". In this case, you simply need to divide the speed of light in a vacuum by the index of refraction.
What is the bending of light from one medium to another?
It is called refraction, but some material bounces off the light and it is called reflection.
What is mathematical refraction?
Mathematical refraction is when we use the mathematical formula to calculate the velocity of light as it passes from one medium to another.
When does light undergo refraction?
light undergoes refraction when the matter changes the speed of light
When convexity of the lens is increased and light refraction does what?
The light refraction is decreased.
What is light refraction used for?
Refraction of light allows for the change of appearance of an object
What does light bend when it passes from air into glass?
refraction
