Sentence examples for bending of light from inspiring English sources

All are caused by the bending of light rays before they meet the observer's eyes.

This in 1918, when Einstein's predictions about the bending of light rays by gravity are about to be confirmed, and Bohr and Planck are already at work.

His theory was swiftly tested when a British expedition claimed to have spotted the predicted bending of light while observing a solar eclipse.

In 1672 he discovered the phenomenon of diffraction (the bending of light rays around corners); to explain it, he offered the wave theory of light.

Numerous optical illusions are produced by the refraction (bending) of light as it passes through one substance to another in which the speed of light is significantly different.

The looked-for effect was small, but Eddington and Dyson confirmed that Einstein's prediction of the bending of light was correct.

When the illuminating laser and observation light pass through media with significantly different refractive indices, the bending of the light rays must be taken into account in order to accurately evaluate the sensitivity directions and compute the measured displacement.

The presence of two different refractive media through which the light travels during the experiment requires taking into account both the bending of the light rays and the shortening of the wavelength in the medium where the displacements occur [ Eq. (3)].

A lens produces its focusing effect because light travels more slowly in the lens than in the surrounding air, so that refraction, an abrupt bending, of a light beam occurs both where the beam enters the lens and where it emerges from the lens into the air.

The amount of bending of a light ray as it crosses a boundary between two media is dictated by the difference in the two indices of refraction.

Unfortunately, the bending of the light isn't perfect, and the eye ends up elongating and compensating even more to make up for the difference, exacerbating the Myopia.
