Roleset id: refract.01 , change direction (of a light beam), block or redirect a light wave, Source: , vncls: , framnet:

refract.01: REFRACT-V NOTES: Based on Sharp and Thyme data. Comparison to refraction.01. No VN or FN classes. (from refract.01-v) REFRACTION-N NOTES: Based on Thyme and Sharp data. Comparison to deflect.01 based on WN entry 2. This usage is for the act of determining ocular refraction used as a basis for prescribing glasses. It measures the amount by which a propagating wave is bent. (from refraction.01-n)
