Levelling refraction refers to the systematic refraction effect distorting the results of line levelling over the Earth s surface. In line levelling, short segments of a line are levelled by taking readings through a level from two staffs, one fore and one behind. By chaining together the height differences of these segments, one can compute the total height difference between the end points of a line. The classical work on levelling refraction is that of TJ Kukkam ki in 1938 39. His analysis is based upon the understanding that the measurement beams travel within a boundary layer close to the Earth s surface, which behaves differently from the atmosphere at large. When measuring over a tilted surface, the systematic effect accumulates. Image Kukkamaki.png thumbnail The systematic effect of levelling refraction on sloping terrain The Kukkam ki levelling refraction became notorious as the explanation of the Palmdale Bulge , which geodesists observed in California in the 1970s. Levelling refraction can be eliminated by either of two techniques Measuring the vertical temperature gradient within the atmospheric boundary layer. Typically two temperature dependent resistors are used, one at 50 cm, the other at 250 cm height above the ground, mounted on a staff and connected in a Wheatstone bridge . Using climatological modelling. Depending on the time of day and year, geographical location and general weather conditions, also levelling observations can be approximately corrected for which no original temperature gradient measurements were collected. An alternative, hi tech approach is dispersometry using two different wavelengths of light. Only recently blue lasers have become readily available making this a realistic proposition.

Refraction microtremor ReMi is a surface performed geophysical survey developed by Dr. John Louie and others based on previously existing principles of evaluating surface waves and in particular Rayleigh waves . The refraction microtremor technology was developed at the University of Nevada and is owned by the State of Nevada. Optim of Reno, Nevada has the exclusive license to develop the technology, and SeisOpt ReMi has been available commercially from Optim since 2004. Since Rayleigh waves are dispersive , the propagating waves are measured along a linear seismic array and evaluated relative to wave frequency and slowness or the inverse of the velocity . Due to the dispersive characteristics of higher frequency waves travelling through the more shallow conditions and lower frequency waves passing through deeper materials, a 1 D subsurface profile can be generated based on the velocity with depth. Equipment and Field Procedures The method utilizes equipment typically employed in seismic refraction surveys. This equipment consists of a seismograph, geophone geophones placed in an array, and a seismic source. An array consists of 6 to 48 geophones placed at some interval along the ground surface to measure the propagating waves and are connected to a seismograph that records the data. Rayleigh waves are generated from seismic sources described to be active, passive, or a combination of both. For example, active sources can be generated sources from a sledge hammer striking a plate or other sources that are created near the traverse. Passive sources can be nearby highway traffic, construction equipment working in the distance, etc. Several recordings typically 15 to 60 seconds long are captured and stored for later analysis.

Negative refraction is the name for an Electromagnetism electromagnetic phenomenon where light light ray rays are refraction refracted at an Interface chemistry interface in the reverse sense to that normally expected. Such an effect can be obtained using a metamaterial which has been designed to achieve a negative number negative value for both electric permittivity and magnetic permeability electromagnetism permeability , as in such cases the material can be assigned a negative refractive index . Such materials are sometimes called double negative materials. Negative refraction occurs at interfaces between materials at which one has an ordinary positive phase velocity i.e. a positive refractive index , and the other has the more exotic negative phase velocity refractive index .

The standard components of an automated refraction system are an electronic and motor driven phoropter auto phoropter, auto refractor head used to present powered Lens optics lenses in front of the patient s eyes, a hardware or software driven controller that changes the lenses in the phoroptor for the subjective portion of the testing, an eye chart to aid in the determination of visual acuity during the test, an autorefractor that measures the patient s objective refractive error, normally used as the starting point of the subjective testing, an autolensmeter that measures the powers of the patient s current pair of glasses or contact lenses. Automated refraction systems currently on the market vary in features, level of automation, ease of use, training required and documentation. Some systems contain automatic detection and compensation of common refraction issues such as Accommodation eye accommodation and over minusing . An automated refraction is quick and painless.

Unreferenced date November 2009 Total external reflection is an optical phenomenon where electromagnetic radiation e.g. visible light can, at certain angles, be totally reflected from an interface between two media of different indices of refraction see Snell s law . Total internal reflection occurs when the first medium has a larger refractive index than the second medium, for example, light that emerges from under water. The optically denser material water in this case is the internal medium. For visible light, water has an index of refraction of 1.33 and for air it is very close to 1. For vacuum the index of refraction is exactly 1 for all wavelengths. For X rays , however, all materials have indices of refraction slightly below 1. This entails that total reflection of X rays only can occur when they travel through vacuum and impinge on a surface at a small glancing angle . Since this kind of total reflection takes place outside of the material it is termed total external reflection . This makes it possible to focus X rays see, for example, NASA http imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov docs science how l1 xray telescopes.html DEFAULTSORT Total External Reflection Category Geometrical optics Optics stub zh ... more details
Vertex distance the distance between the back surface of a corrective lens, i.e. glasses glasses spectacles or contact lens es, and the front of the cornea . Increasing or decreasing the vertex distance changes the optical properties of the system, by moving the Focus optics focal point forward or backward, effectively changing the Dioptre power of the lens relative to the Human eye eye . Since most Eye examination Refraction refractions are performed at a vertex distance of 14 mm, the power of a corrective device fitted at a different vertex distance may need to be compensated to effect the same correction of the initial refraction note refraction is portion of an eye exam that is performed with a phoropter . This note should remain for clarification until the eye exam article addresses refraction adequately ref cite book last Brooks first Clifford authorlink coauthors title Understanding Lens Surfacing publisher date location pages 241 245 url doi id isbn 0 7506 9177 8 ref Vertex distance is important when converting between contact lens and glasses prescriptions and becomes significant if the glasses prescription is 4.00D or more. The focal point of the correcting lens needs to be at the far point of the eye.
