Also known as: 屈折
The bending of light as it passes through a transparent medium like Water or Glass. Refraction is what makes a straight stick look bent underwater, and what makes everything look Fisheyed through curved glass.
Ripples of light caused by this effect Underwater or at the bottom of a pool are called Caustics.
