A lens makes the light change direction what is the change of direction called?
Scattering is an interaction of light with matter that causes light to change its energy, direction of motion, or both. so the plain answer is scattering the particles.
An interaction of light with matter that causes light to change direction?
Reflection or refraction.
Why do light rays pass through a lens change direction?
If a wave of light is reflected by an opaque material, it changes direction. If it refracts (like light going from air into water), it can change direction. Also, gravity can bend light. For example, a black hole can trap light.
Does light change direction when it is absorbed by a material And if it does then how?
Yes if by absorbed, u mean go through, like water, then yes, it slows down and turns the direction of light
What is the name given to a change of direction of a ray of light?
'Refraction' and 'reflection' both change the direction of light.
What causes light to change directions?
The change in speed of light changes the direction.

What causes the change in direction when light passes into glass?
REFRACTION
What is the word that means an interaction of light with matter that causes light to change direction?
Refraction.
What causes rotation and revolution?
Length of the day, Direction of sunrise, and change from light and day.
What is the word for the definition A material causes light waves traveling in one direction to travel in all directions?
Polar

An interactiom of light with matter that causes light to change direction?
Refraction, when the light passes through matter and is bent, or reflection, when the light bounces off.
Does light change direction when it is absorbed by a material And if it does then how?
Yes if by absorbed, u mean go through, like water, then yes, it slows down and turns the direction of light
What causes the shape of a shadow to change?
when you change the object that creates the shadow by blocking the light, its' shadow will change. or there is another light source shining from a different direction on the object will affect the shadow too.
