Jet refraction refers to the phenomenon where a jet of fluid changes direction as it passes through a medium of different refractive index. This can occur when a high-velocity fluid jet, such as water or air, passes through a medium with a different refractive index, such as glass or water. The change in direction of the jet can be observed as a bending or curving of the jet as it passes through the medium.
This phenomenon is caused by the difference in the refractive indices of the fluid jet and the medium through which it is passing. When light passes through a medium with a different refractive index, it changes direction, and the same effect occurs with fluid flowing through the medium. The amount of bending that occurs is dependent on the angle of incidence of the jet and the refractive indices of the fluid and the medium.
Jet refraction has important applications in fields such as optics, fluid dynamics, and engineering, and is often used in the design of fluidic systems and microfluidic devices.
