By 'in the environment' I suppose you mean natural materials? Water is one, you can see this when you look into a pool, the bottom appears nearer ie the water shallower than it really is. Air can also bend light, this is how mirages are formed. Water droplets in the air cause rainbows due to different light wavelengths being bent by different amounts.
Generally any material with a refractive index will bend light passing through it. Glass is another obvious one, though not naturally occurring. However some natural types of stones can be transparent, such as diamonds, and these will certainly bend light.
All of these objects also reflect light.

Is this the answer you were looking for?:-
a glass prism (i think), the white light that passes through it reveals all the colours of the spectrum as it passes. (spectrum colours = rainbow colours

During a solar eclipse astronomers found that the position of certain stars proximal to the location of the sun were shift by the amount predicted by Einstein.

is different.
The only exception is the situation where it was traveling 'straight', i.e. perpendicular to the
interface. In that case, it keeps going straight in the new medium, and doesn't bend.
Air, water, and glass are three materials in the environment that can bend light through the process of refraction.

Which 3 materials reflects light?
ANY material reflects light. Some do so better than others.
What are 3 materials mediums light can travel through?
Air, water, and glass are three common materials that light can travel through. Each material has different properties that affect how light travels through it, such as its density and refractive index.
How do you bend a 3 bend saddle with conduit?
To bend a 3 bend saddle with conduit, mark the location of the bends on the conduit. Make the first bend at the desired angle, then measure and mark the distance for the second bend. Make the second bend, then repeat for the third bend. Use a conduit bender tool to achieve precise angles and measurements.
What are 3 ways materials transmit light?
Materials can transmit light through transmission, reflection, and refraction. In transmission, light passes directly through a material like glass. Reflection occurs when light bounces off a surface, such as a mirror. Refraction happens when light changes direction as it passes from one material to another, like when light enters water from air.
How do convex lenses bend light rays?
Convex lenses bend light rays by converging them towards a focal point on the opposite side of the lens. This is due to the shape of the lens, which is thicker at the center and thinner at the edges, causing the light rays to refract towards the center.
What are the raw materials for photosynthensis?
the raw materials for photosynthesis are: 1) carbon dioxide 2) water 3) light
Which 3 materials reflects light?
ANY material reflects light. Some do so better than others.
Which metal is light compared to other metals?
lithium is the lightest metal, so this is light compared to other materials :3
What is 3-D bends?
A 3D bend is a pipe bend that the bend radius is 3 times the pipe outside diameter.
Name 3 materials that light cannot pass through?
table glass soap
Why we cannot see the light source when using 3 opaque materials?
We cannot see a light source even if 1 opaque material is blocking the light source. Opaque materials do not allow light to pass through them so we cannot see light through them but we can still see light reflected by them.
How do convex lenses bend light rays?
Convex lenses bend light rays by converging them towards a focal point on the opposite side of the lens. This is due to the shape of the lens, which is thicker at the center and thinner at the edges, causing the light rays to refract towards the center.
For photosynthesis a cell needs what 3 things?
CO2 and water are raw materials. Light is the energy source
What happens when you put an object in front of a light?
1) if the object is opeaque the will not pass through it 2) if the object is hard the light will bend and forming a shadow of that object 3) if the object is cold its temperature will become exact to the enviropment
What is the present tense of bend?
Bend (present), bent (past), bent (future) are the 3 verb forms for bend. "Today I will bend a metal bar. I bent one just like it yesterday and I will bend another next week."
Can the new iPad 3 bend?
Ofcourse not!
How do a change a tail light in a 1999 Olds Alero?
In trunk remove thumb screw, bend back paneling, remove 3 thumb screws and pull out whole tail light fixture. Now you can replace bulb(s).
