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.
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 an object that was made by people long ago?
An artifact.
When light passes through a transparent object it bends?
Stupid question.
What indicates any curved and transparent object that refractacts or bends light?
a lens.
A transparent object that bends light of different wavelengths by different amounts?
"prism"
How does the lens of a light work?
Each concave lens bends light to make the object appear larger
What term indicates any curved and transparent object that refracts or bends light?
A lens.
How does the lens of a light microscope worke?
Each concave lens bends light to make the object appear larger
Which part of the human eye bends light rays the most when focused on a distant object?
The lens

if you are using A+ it is lens
Terms indicates any curved and transparent object that refracts or bends light?

A tranparent object that starts with letter P that bends light and breaks it up in the rainbow?
Prism.
Why do object that under water look close than they actually are?
Light bends as it passes from the water to the air - this changes the perspective of where the object is.
What is the path that light travels if it does not hit an object or travel through a new medium?
Straight. Gravity bends light. It can act like a lens
