Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Birefracting

👉 Birefringent is a phenomenon in which light waves are refracted at different angles when they pass through different media, such as air and glass. This means that light will bend or scatter differently depending on whether it passes through water (birefringent), oil (non-birefringent), or any other medium with differing refractive indices, like air versus glass.
