Deflect (light) (7)

I believe the answer is:

refract

(Other definitions for refract that I've seen before include "Bend ray of light as it meets glass or water" , "Change light's direction" , "(Of lens) change direction of (light beam)" , "Change direction of light, eg, in water/glass" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
