cathode ray tubes
This term is used in combination with réflexion in a series of experiments with electron beams emitted by cathode ray tubes and Helmholtz coils:
Augmenter Up, non seulement jusqu’à ce que le faisceau n’atteigne plus la paroi de l’ampoule (rebroussement), mais reparte en arrière (réflexion). Noter qu’entre le rebroussement et la réflexion le rayon R reste pratiquement constant.

repulsion
I can't say I have specialist knowledge here, but from the description given, I would say the beam is being repelled from the tube wall (by analogy with magentic repulsion, though of course here it is electrical)
I believe that 'repulsion' would indeed be the stage prior to 'reflection'

Thanks, M, for your changed comment! Of course, don't be offended, I was only asking, because in all my dealings with CRTs, I have never come across that particular word, is all, and it's difficult to see (from its plain language meaning) how it fits in.
However, you can tell your physics teacher from me that 'repulsion' IS QUITE DEFINITELY also used in connection with things other than magnetism; in particular, and relevant to this context, it is used in connection with electron beams and CRTs. Of this I am quite certain!

Comment: "Thanks, Dusty, and from the context this certainly makes sense, I just wondered if there was a "scientific" word, but I'll go with this. Biology and agriculture, not physics, are my specialties."

return path
rebrousser chemin in French means to go back on a path
a return path...
What Dusty says makes sense, except rebrousser is not repel...

Augmenter Up, non seulement jusqu’à ce que le faisceau n’atteigne plus la paroi de l’ampoule (rebroussement), mais reparte en arrière (réflexion
Increase Up ? not only until the beam no longer reaches the sides of the bulb (bounces off it) but goes back along the path it arrived on (reflectance)
does that sound right?
gees, I no Zero about how things reflect off of surfaces
a return path...

: Well, I DO know a bit about CRTs... I agree in principle with what you say, Jane, but how does 'return path' fit into the sentence as given (part of speech?)

Shog Imas
: "goes back along the path it arrived on " is what you wrote and what you disagree in my response. That's what I wrote too, so it's to disagree

Tony M
: I don't quite see how that could possibly fit in the given context, which seems quite clear // I think 'deflection' is dangerous to use, as in CRT contexts it can have other, quite different meanings; here, it means effectively the same as 'repulsion'

cusp
Sorry I don't have time to research this but "point de rebroussement" is "cusp", and this is certainly a word that crops up in the context of cathode tubes.
Good luck! I'm off for my beauty sleep :-D

Tony M
: But the whole problem is, 'cusp' = 'POINT de rebroussement'; what do you use for just 'rebroussement' alone?
