As you all know that light travels in a straight way but how light bends at the cornor?

Light always travels in a straight line with respect to space-time. If it appears to the observer that the light beam has bent it can only be concluded that space-time is bent.

Why sound travels faster than light?
Sound does not travel faster than light. The speed of light is 299,792,458 meters per second The speed of sound is 343.14 meters per second or, light travels at 186,000 miles per second sound at 751 MPH
How is light and Radiation connected?
Light is a form of radiation. Radiation is an emanation of energy from a body, that can pass through a vacuum unaffected. it travels in a straight line, and is only slightly affected by gravity. A black hole obviously will, with its massive gravity well, affect all forms of light and radiation. Heat, light particles (photons) and radiation particles (alpha, beta, and gamma) are all forms of radiation, among other more exotic forms.
What type of electromagnetic wave travels down a fiber optic cable?
Generally visible light and/or ultra-violet.
What is group velocity in waveguide?
Group velocity in a waveguide is speed at which EM energy travels in the guide.It will always be less then speed light.
What is speed of radio waves?
radio waves travels at the speed of light i,e 299,792,458 meters
What is the path that light travels if it does not hit an object or travel through a new medium?
Straight. Gravity bends light. It can act like a lens
How is the light travel?
Most often, the light travels in a straight line.But when it passes nearby a body having a large gravitational force, the path of the light bends or curves.

What happened to light when it is refracted?
When light is Refracted it bends when it travels from one medium to another
What is called when light travels through two things and bends?
Refraction
How does light travel when the medium it travels through changes and how does light travel when the medium does not change?
Light travels in straight lines when the medium's density is constant. When light enters a different density perpendicularly, it also travels in a straight line. When light enters a higher density at an angle, it bends towards an imaginary line perpendicular to its pont of entry. When light enters a lower density medium, it bends away from the imaginary perpendicular line. This is seen with objects partially submerged in water. The light exits the water and bends away from its normal path, making the object appear crooked in relation to the unsubmerged portion. Sometimes light will be reflected at the boundary of two mediums. This is seen in optic fibres.
What are the characteristic of light at zero gravity?
When there's no gravity, light just travels in one direction at the speed of light. Gravity bends the direction at which light travels.
Does light travels in straight line?
Yes because, Light travels in a straight path called a light ray.
Light will bend as it does what?
Light bends, when it light travels at different speeds in different mediums. Hope that helps.
What do you call the straight path that light travels?
light travels in straight paths called rays
What kind of wave does light travel in?
I have the straight answer from the Internet and my science teacher that light travels in the motion of waves.
Why do light travels in straight line?
It does not, it travels as a wave
