Although the light is made up of photons, particles with energy but no mass, the general theory of relativity allows them to react to very strong gravitational fields (for example sun or black hole).

Do convex lenses cause light to bend?
Yes, they make light bend inwards towards a focus point.
What will cause the laser light to bend as it enters a ice cube?
I will cause it to refract.
What can bend light?
change of medium causes light to bend
Does light bend as it passes through materials?
Light is affected by the media that it travels through. Even air will bend light. Glass and water certainly bend light.
When can light bend?
Light could bend when it enters a prism. A prism is a transparent object such as glass.

What causes the light from far away galaxies to bend?
If the light from a distance galaxy passes near a massive cosmic object, then the gravity of that object will distort space-time. That will cause the light to bend.
If you shine a laser pointer into an ice cube properties will cause the laser light to bend as it enters the ice cube?

Do rainbows bend light?
No. Water droplets bend light to make rainbows.
When light rays enter a new medium at an angle what does the change in speed cause the ray to do?
The change in speed causes the light to bend. If it is travelling from an optically dencer to an optically rarer medium the ray will bend away from the normal. But if it is travelling from an optically rarer to an optically denser medium then it will bend towards the normal.
Does white light reflect or bend?
White light can reflect or bend, depending upon the circumstances.
When can light bend?
Light could bend when it enters a prism. A prism is a transparent object such as glass.
Does light bend when it reflects on glass?
no , and its not calld 'bend' its called 'reflected' but its like bend but ITS NOT :)
Why light travell in straight line?
In the absence of external forces, there's nothing to cause it to bend.
