A glass prism
Light could bend when it enters a prism. A prism is a transparent object such as glass.
flexibility
Refractive indexes of both the substances are same
The object refracts the light, because of the bending of light or waves as it passes from the material to another.
An eye works by taking the light that is coming from a point on an object and bending it so that it is all focused on single point at the back of the eye. The lens of the eye can only bend the light so much and the closer the object is the more the eye has to bend the light. If the object is closer than 25 cm it can't bend it enough.

They bend or refract

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.

When light is directed at transparent materials, it bounces off of the particles and is refracted accordingly. This causes the light to bend according to the materials refraction index. The higher the refraction index of the material, and the thicker it is, the more it bends the light and separates the colors.
When light hits and object, the light could bounce off in another direction. This is due to refraction.
Mirror (uses reflection principle), transparent glass sheet (uses refraction principle),etc are the instruments which are used to bend light.
