What can bend light?
change of medium causes light to bend
What light behavior causes light to bend through water?
lkkhkj
What causes light traveling in a straight line to bend?
Gravity. (Or the shape of space - which is molded by gravity.)
What causes light rays to refract?
light travels in straight path and when speed of medium in which light travels change then it refract due to change in speed light rays bend and refract
Does light bend as it passes through materials?
Light is affected by the media that it travels through. Even air will bend light. Glass and water certainly bend light.

Contraction of the ciliary muscle causes the lens to bend the light less?
false
What causes the light from far away galaxies to bend?
If the light from a distance galaxy passes near a massive cosmic object, then the gravity of that object will distort space-time. That will cause the light to bend.
If you shine a laser pointer into an ice cube properties will cause the laser light to bend as it enters the ice cube?
refraction causes it to bend

What behavior of light enables magnifying glasses and contact lens to bend light rays and help people see more clearly?
The ability to make images bigger is called refraction which bends light. Magnifying glasses help make objects bigger so they use refraction.
What causes light rays to refract?
light travels in straight path and when speed of medium in which light travels change then it refract due to change in speed light rays bend and refract
What causes light rays to bend when they enter a new medium at an angle?
Light rays bend when they enter a new medium at an angle because they either slow down or speed up. They speed up the most if they are in a vacuum.
What causes water to bend light passing through it?
because when light hits a different martial it slows and change it direction like ridingbike from the road on to the sand.
What causes a stem to bend towards light?
this is called a tropism, where the growth of a plant in a particular stimulus, (light in this case). A chemical called auxin causes the elongation of cells. When a shoot is illuminated from one side, auxin is transported down the shaded side. This shaded side then elongates more rapidly than the illuminated side, causing the shoot to bend towards the light. Also the stimulus(light) must be detected by the tip of the plant shoot or root.
