What is the behavior of light that causes msgnifying glasses and contact lenses to bend light rays?
The bending of light rays is called diffraction. It happens because light actually moves at different speeds in different substances. When light strikes a border between two substances (such as air and the glass of a contact lens) at angle, the edges of the wave-front reach the new substance at different times. Thus the different sides of the light ray change speeds at different times and the light ray bends.
