i dont know either...i needed the answer for science homework ;(....
(the guy is crying)
The state of matter can affect the way light interacts with it. In solids, light typically gets absorbed or reflected, leading to the appearance of color. In liquids, light can be absorbed and scattered, which can affect its transparency. In gases, light can be transmitted easily, leading to high transparency. Additionally, the refractive index of a material also depends on its state of matter, which affects the speed and direction of light.

Gravitational lensing does not depend on a the state of matter of light, rather it is an expression of the geometric curvature of space/time due to mass.
physical
Heat causes matter to become warmer, usually to expand,and occasionally to change its physical state.
light waves travel through a matter, such as air water and others
Light is NOT a state of matter - its photons, pure energy.
No, it is not.
No, The state of matter only affects its' concentration. No matter what state matter is in, it will always have the same mass (assuming it doesn't drip or float away). However, the state of matter can affect the area or volume of matter.
Pressure and temperature are two factors that both affect the state of any type of matter.
