Here is refraction

Refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one substance to another


Here is reflection

Reflection occurs when light changes direction as a result of "bouncing off" a surface,

i think the definitive difference is a refraction is a bend in the light where a reflection is a redirection of it

What does reflect mean

The direction of light can be changed in 2 ways. One way is refraction which is usually done by a lens (eyeglasses do this). The other is reflection, most often done by a mirror. Telescopes are almost always based on reflection and/or refraction designs. A reflective telescope has at least one curved mirror, often 2 curved mirrors which focus light by reflecting a larger area of natural light on a smaller spot.

Fog lamps shut off when i put brights off?

check with the service dealer as it may be a legal requirement where you are that you cannot run both lights at the same time . If you can run the main beams then there is no reason to use the fog lights as they serve no useful purpose.. Fog lights a re situated down low and are designed to shine under the fog ( fog is always about 12 " from the ground) and reflect the road markers so that you can see where the road goes and the light is not refracted back as a white sheet in the fog as your main lights do.

Low or poor signal is mainly caused by the following major factors:

Going Around Physical Obstructions
Wireless networks are also susceptible to obstructions that may lead to low signal. Often, the signal gets reflected, refracted or absorbed by the obstruction.

Common obstructions are:

  • Cabinets
  • Mirrors
  • Glasses
  • Metal objects
  • Thick walls and ceilings


If you have any of these objects between your wireless adapter and access point, consider relocating your access point somewhere high to get around the obstruction.

I want to view construction diagram or a diagram that can explain Reflex mirrir lens for digital slr camera.

Same principle as a reflex telescope- might Wikipedia Schmidt-cassegrain OR reflex telescope for more info. Long glass lenses need a lot of correction for fact that different wavelengths refract at different angles, while those same beams of light bend the same when reflected.

How to make a homemade refracting telescope

There are several do it yourself projects on the internet like this one:

http://www.astronomyforum.net/atm-diy-telescope-making-forum/80586-4-diy-refractor.html

and this

http://www.vintageprojects.com/telescope/3-inch.html

However I would suggest that you build a reflecting style telescope like this one. More aperture and lower cost.

Opengl code

OpenGL doesn't handle photonics or any other low-level physics - you'll either need a raytracer, such as POVRAY or Blender, or you'll have to write the physics yourself, to emulate light rays of varying colours (I recommend using a HSL colour space for your physics, only translating to RGB when rendering the frame).
The refraction of a ray at the interface of the prism and the "air" can be calculated using Index of Refraction, correction factor to account for different refraction dependent on frequency (Hue) and a random number generator to emulate slight scattering.
