refractively
This term is used almost exclusively within technical, scientific, or academic contexts, particularly in physics and optics. It describes the specific mechanism of wave propagation where a change in speed between two media causes a change in direction. Because of its highly specialized nature, it is rarely encountered in casual conversation or general literature.
Unlike the adjective "refractive," which describes a property of a material (such as a refractive index), the adverb "refractively" describes the process or manner of the action. It is a precise term used to distinguish refraction from other optical phenomena like reflection or diffraction.
