It just refreshes the screen.
For instance, it you are viewing a webpage in internet explorer and you press "F5", then the webpage is refreshed - the data is pulled from the website.

Technical explanation:
(1) Generally, to update something with new data. For example, some Web browsers include a refresh button that updates the currently displayed Web pages. This feature is also called reload.
(2) To recharge a device with power or information. For example, dynamic RAM needs to be refreshed thousands of times per second or it will lose the data stored in it.
Similarly, display monitors must be refreshed many times per second. The refresh rate for a monitor is measured in hertz (Hz) and is also called the vertical frequency, vertical scan rate, frame rate or vertical refresh rate. The old standard for monitor refresh rates was 60Hz, but a new standard developed by VESA sets the refresh rate at 75Hz for monitors displaying resolutions of 640x480 or greater. This means that the monitor redraws the display 75 times per second. The faster the refresh rate, the less the monitor flickers.

all the above answers telling that it will refresh the web page , its wrong , because even if we give refresh in desktop also it will refresh ,
means - when u open any application then the data will be stored in ram (random access memory) ram is called as temporary memory if u minim zed it and if u copy any data by opening a new application in the same drive then the minimized drive will not have the data if u press refresh then the data will recollected from hdd , so the refresh is used
