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

How can you use refraction in a sentence?

Light refraction causes a straw in a glass of water to appear bent or broken.


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 are the industrial application of refraction?

Refraction is commonly used in industries such as optics, telecommunications, and photography. In optics, lenses and prisms use refraction to manipulate light. In telecommunications, fiber optics rely on refraction to transmit data efficiently. Refraction is also important in photography for techniques like lens refraction and creating special effects.


How does microscopes use refraction?

Microscopes use refraction by bending light as it passes through lenses to focus the image. The bending of light allows the microscope to magnify the image and create a detailed view of small objects that would otherwise be difficult to see. By controlling the amount of refraction, the microscope can adjust the magnification level.


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.

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.

How do archerfish use refraction?

It dosent use refraction it allows for it, it shoots down its prey with water droplets from under water so it must cope for refraction and somehow it can, that's why its an amazing fish its because it can calculate the level of refraction and cope with it.
