When light is bent it is called what?

When light is bent, it is called refraction. Refraction occurs when light travels through different mediums, such as air and water, causing it to change speed and direction. This bending of light is responsible for optical phenomena such as rainbows and the way objects appear distorted when submerged in water.


As you all know that light travels in a straight way but how light bends at the cornor?

Light always travels in a straight line with respect to space-time. If it appears to the observer that the light beam has bent it can only be concluded that space-time is bent.

This is also known as "refraction".


When light is bent as it travels through an object it is called?

Refraction. This is when light changes direction as it passes from one transparent medium to another with a different optical density, causing it to bend.

What name is applied to light that is bent in the atmosphere?

Why does a straw appear to be bent when placed in a glass of water?

When light travels from one medium to another, such as from air to water, it can change direction. This change in direction is called refraction. As light passes through the water and into the air inside the straw, it refracts again, causing the straw to appear bent at the water's surface.
