Refracted :: Refracted (a.) Turned from a direct course by refraction; as, refracted rays of light..

Stereoscopic :: Stereoscope (n.) An optical instrument for giving to pictures the appearance of solid forms, as seen in nature. It combines in one, through a bending of the rays of light, two pictures, taken for the purpose from points of view a little way apart. It is furnished with two eyeglasses, and by refraction or reflection the pictures are superimposed, so as to appear as one to the observer..

Denominator :: Denominator (n.) That part of any expression under a fractional form which is situated below the horizontal line signifying division.

Fractionate :: Fractionate (v. t.) To separate into different portions or fractions, as in the distillation of liquids..

Breach :: Breach (n.) Specifically: A breaking or infraction of a law, or of any obligation or tie; violation; non-fulfillment; as, a breach of contract; a breach of promise..

Argument :: Argument (n.) The quantity on which another quantity in a table depends; as, the altitude is the argument of the refraction..

Refraction :: Refraction (n.) The correction which is to be deducted from the apparent altitude of a heavenly body on account of atmospheric refraction, in order to obtain the true altitude..

Denominator :: Denominator (n.) That number placed below the line in vulgar fractions which shows into how many parts the integer or unit is divided.

Infraction :: Infraction (n.) The act of infracting or breaking; breach; violation; nonobservance; infringement; as, an infraction of a treaty, compact, rule, or law..

Neurine :: Neurine (n.) A poisonous organic base (a ptomaine) formed in the decomposition of protagon with boiling baryta water, and in the putrefraction of proteid matter. It was for a long time considered identical with choline, a crystalline body originally obtained from bile. Chemically, however, choline is oxyethyl-trimethyl-ammonium hydroxide, while neurine is vinyl-trimethyl-ammonium hydroxide..

Fractional :: Fractional (a.) Relatively small; inconsiderable; insignificant; as, a fractional part of the population..

Anaclastics :: Anaclastics (n.) That part of optics which treats of the refraction of light; -- commonly called dioptrics.

Integer :: Integer (n.) A complete entity; a whole number, in contradistinction to a fraction or a mixed number..

Inflection :: Inflection (n.) Same as Diffraction.

Benzene :: Benzene (n.) A volatile, very inflammable liquid, C6H6, contained in the naphtha produced by the destructive distillation of coal, from which it is separated by fractional distillation. The name is sometimes applied also to the impure commercial product or benzole, and also, but rarely, to a similar mixed product of petroleum..

Diffraction :: Diffraction (n.) The deflection and decomposition of light in passing by the edges of opaque bodies or through narrow slits, causing the appearance of parallel bands or fringes of prismatic colors, as by the action of a grating of fine lines or bars..

Spectrum :: Spectrum (n.) The several colored and other rays of which light is composed, separated by the refraction of a prism or other means, and observed or studied either as spread out on a screen, by direct vision, by photography, or otherwise. See Illust. of Light, and Spectroscope..

Uniaxial :: Uniaxial (a.) Having but one optic axis, or line of no double refraction..

Eriometer :: Eriometer (n.) An instrument for measuring the diameters of minute particles or fibers, from the size of the colored rings produced by the diffraction of the light in which the objects are viewed..

Fraction :: Fraction (n.) One or more aliquot parts of a unit or whole number; an expression for a definite portion of a unit or magnitude.
