Refraction is the change in direction of light when it passes from one medium to another. The working of a lens is based on the refraction of light when they pass through it. Lens is a transparent ...

From ribosomes assembling proteins to viruses attacking cells, the main dramas in biology happen on a scale that is, tantalizingly, just one order of magnitude below the resolution of the best optical ...

Light is refracted when it enters a material like water or glass. Depending on the density of the material, light will reduce in speed as it travels through, causing it to change direction. Ray ...

Physicists in the US have made the first ultrathin flat lens. Thanks to its flatness, the device eliminates optical aberrations that occur in conventional lenses with spherical surfaces. As a result, ...

For the first time, scientists have demonstrated that negative refraction can be achieved using atomic arrays - without the need for artificially manufactured metamaterials. Scientists have long ...

Save guides, add subjects and pick up where you left off with your BBC account. Light is refracted when it enters a material like water or glass. Depending on the density of the material, light will ...
