Light doesn't bend or curve. It only goes in straight lines, but you can change its direction using a shiny surface by reflection.
Another way to change its path is to pass it from one transparent medium to another with a different molecular structure. The change in path as it moves from one medium to another is called refraction.

When is an object seen?
You don't actually see the object you see the light that has reflected off of it, that reaches your eyes. What you see is actually in the past. first the light hits it then it travels to your eyes to the optic nerve from there to the brain where it gets sorted out to make sense to you. This all happens so quickly that you may as well have actually seen the object, unless of course it is many light years away like the stars where you can see objects that have stopped being what you see millions of years ago. -someone I am reading in my science book and it says that 'When white light strikes a colored opaque object, some colors of light are absorbed, and some are reflected. Only the light that is reflected reaches your eyes. The colors of light that is reflected by an opaque object determine the color you see.' -Haileybh
Does white exist as a color?
Yes. The color white in light represents all visible frequencies.The reason that a "white" object appears "colorless" is that it is reflecting the entire range of colors. A "black" object is reflecting much less light, absorbing light energy across the entire range of colors.
What are some details about the gold that was discovered?
it was found on the property of john sutter James marshall discovered some on sutters mill on January 24 1848It bends but doesn't break.
How did astronomers discover an object pulsing waves in space?
Astronomers discovered an object pulsing waves in space by observing changes in the intensity of its light over time. This pulsing pattern indicated that the object was emitting regular waves of energy, which led to the discovery of its pulsar nature.
Why is soy sauce black?
Any black thing, including soya sauce, will appear black because it absorbs most of the light that falls on it. So why do "black things" absorb light? Because their surface or their interior is unable to reflect light. (In other words, "because it does". Why do metals appear shiny and metallic? Because they do!) Black things will normally appear black in other light; but other colours may appear black in other lights. For instance, a blue object may appear black in orange light, because orange light has little blue within it for the "blue" object to reflect.
What is it called when light bends around an object?
It is called diffraction when light bends around an object. This phenomenon occurs when light encounters an obstacle or aperture that causes it to change direction and spread out.
A tranparent object that starts with letter P that bends light and breaks it up in the rainbow?
A prism is a transparent object that bends light and disperses it into the colors of the rainbow through refraction.
What lens bends light inward and when the light hits your eye makes object appear larger?
A converging lens bends light inward and focuses it at a point. When the light hits your eye, the image of the object is magnified, making the object appear larger than its actual size.
Which part of the human eye bends light rays the most when focused on a distant object?
The cornea is the part of the human eye that bends light rays the most when focused on a distant object.
What occurs when a light wave bends around an object?
When a light wave bends around an object, it undergoes a phenomenon called diffraction. This bending is more pronounced when the wavelength of light is comparable to the size of the object. Diffraction causes the light to spread out and create a pattern of interference, leading to phenomena such as light and dark fringes.
What indicates any curved and transparent object that refractacts or bends light?
a lens.
How does the lens of a light work?
Each concave lens bends light to make the object appear larger
How does the lens of a light microscope worke?
Each concave lens bends light to make the object appear larger
How does the lens of a light microscope work a. Each concave lens bends light to make the object appear larger. b. Each convex lens bends light to make the object appear larger. c. Each convex lens be?
b. Each convex lens bends light to make the object appear larger. The convex lens in a light microscope refracts and converges light rays to magnify the specimen being observed. By bending light, the lens creates an enlarged virtual image of the specimen that can be viewed by the observer.
What is a transparent object that refracts light?
A glass prism is a transparent object that refracts light. When light enters the prism, it changes speed and bends, causing it to refract and separate into different colors.
What term indicates any curved and transparent object that refracts or bends light?
A lens.
Which term indicates any curved and transparent object refracts or bends light?
if you are using A+ it is lens
