      Analiticai and numerical methods were used to obtain formulae for the refraction angle of a beam propagating through a plasma with power and exponential density profile decrease. In small refraction angle region its dependence on electron density is represented by an exponential functional with an exponent close to unity and its value is inversely proportional to the squared incident radiation frequency.
