Bending of light is caused by a light ray going through different mediums, for example from air into a glass prism.
Light would bend when it hits the glass (at an angle) then bend again when it leaves the prism.
This is called refraction.
The basic cause is the fact that light travels at different speeds in air and glass.
"Diffraction" can also cause light to bend.
Another phenomenon is the bending of light in a gravitational field. This is harder to explain. The reason comes from Einstein's Theory of Relativity.
the bending of light when passing through an object
The larger the angle of incidence, the larger the degree of bending light is. I hope that helped!
i guess both.
It is called refraction.
no, the light rays are caused due to reflection,transmission and absorption of light. Index of refraction.
Refraction of bending lightrefraction means the bending of light, and the refraction of light in a prism causes to 'split' light in all its colors (that we can see and not see)Refraction is the bending of light. The bending of light is defined mathematically by Snell's law. The degree of bending through rain drops produces the various colors of the rainbow.
The angle of incidence.
Refraction or Refraction of light is the scientific name for the bending of light. Same Thing.
It is the bending of light
Diffraction is separating light into bands using a grid. Refraction is the bending of light.
the reason for divergence of laser beam is basically diffraction which causes bending of light at the edges and consequently divergence
Refraction is the bending of light when it passes from a dense medium to a differently dense medium. Light therefore finds it easier/more difficult to travel and the speed changes accordingly, which is why it bends.

The bending of light due to great masses is called Gravitational MicroLensing.
Light bending as it passes through a prism is an example of refraction, not reflection.
