Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Superrefraction

👉 In optics, a phenomenon known as superrefraction occurs when light or other waves pass through an interface that is slightly different in refractive index than its original medium. This phenomenon can occur due to various factors such as temperature, polarization of light, and the presence of materials with higher refractive indices. The term "superrefraction" refers to this phenomenon occurring at a very high angle and speed compared to the speed of light. For example, when light enters a vacuum or an ideal gas from
