Yes, light travels through space. As that space is bent, so will be the path of the light traveling through the space. It is known by gravitational refraction and gravitational lensing.

Yes, light can bend around objects. This phenomenon is known as diffraction and occurs when light waves encounter an obstacle or a small opening. Diffraction causes the light waves to spread out and bend, allowing us to observe patterns such as the bending of light around the edges of a solid object or the interference patterns produced by a narrow slit.

What objects bend light?
mirror
Does light bend around objects that are in the way?
No light travels in a straight line. However, it can be reflected to give the impression it has travelled around an object.
What is an unusual use for calcite?
cloaking device, they use calcite's birefringence to bend light around objects seen with the human eye.
Do sound waves bend around objects?
Yes.
What phenomenon makes objects to appear to bend in water?
refraction of light
What phenomenon makes objects appear to bend water?
Refraction of light
How do objects bend light?
The object refracts the light, because of the bending of light or waves as it passes from the material to another.
Does a concave lens bend light to make the objects appear larger?
yes it does
Why does light travel straight?
light travels in a straight line because it can only be bend by reflective objects.
Why do refracted objects bend?
The light acts as a wave, and the wave accelerates differentially at the border.
What happens to the field of vision with increase magnification?
It bends/warps and blurs in a circular shape around the edges, as the light bouncing off of objects is hitting your eyes at a bend relative to your speed.
Glass objects used to bend light are called?
Well it can be any glass object to make the rays go parallel.
