Causes of bending of light?
Bending of light is caused by light going through different mediums (or "media").For example, when it goes from air into a glass prism.The light would bend when the light hits the glass at an angle then bend again when it leaves the prism.This is called Refraction.The fundamental explanation of refraction involves the fact that light travels at different speeds in different mediums.Also, the phenomenon called "diffraction" can cause the bending of light.Another time that light can be bent is when travelling through a strong gravitational field. The explanation for this effect comes from Einstein's Theory of Relativity.
