What is the property of light that causes it to bend?

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.

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.

refraction causes it to bend


What causes light traveling in a straight line to bend?

Gravity. (Or the shape of space - which is molded by gravity.)


What happens to a ray of light that slows down when it hits a new medium at an angle?

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.
