What is bending light?
Water will bend a beam of light. Try this put a stright pincil in a glass of water. The pencil is still stright but looks bent. The water is bending the beam of light.
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.
What is the main idea about refraction?
It is about retarding light. Many think of it as bending light, but that is technically incorrect, since refraction is more a function of time as based on the thickness and cut of the material that light passes through.
A wave bending as it passes a point of land is an example of refraction?
Sound is doing this all the time.
What is a clear material that bends light rays?
1) any clear glass (with refractive index that is different from the region where the light is entering this clear glass) 2) any colour-less diamond. 3) any clear lens (concave, convex, etc) 4) (if you want to get really fancy ... :) ) any heavenly body with sufficient gravitational pull to "bend" the light ... though some would say light is still travelling in a straight line (and not actually bending) but is just happening to travel through warped space-time!! 5) Prism

Is the amount of bending influenced by the amount of time seedlings spend in the light?
Yes it is, the plants need for sunlight will bend the stem to increase its reception of light.

How much would you age traveling a single light year?
1 year. A light year is a measure of distance, not time. Its how far light travels in 1 year, so the time is the same. Unless your talking some kind of weird Einstein theory about time bending at such speeds... then I have no idea.
What does the term ''Starving Time'' most commonly refer to?
1609-1610 in Jamestown when almost all of the colonists died of starvation
Is timewise a word?
"Timewise" is a compound word formed by combining "time" and "wise." It is commonly used to refer to something related to or measured by time.
What do you call Bending of time and space?
space-time curvature
What is the fastest pole bending time?
19.297
Was the qilin a real animal at some point in time?
Yes and no; qilin can refer to giraffe, as it was commonly known both back then and today in korean and other culture. The mythical animal that is similar to a unicorn is nonexistent, however. Text will refer to the Qilin commonly as either of these two, so the answer is conditional.
What does cuando mean?
"Cuando" means "when" in English. It is commonly used to refer to a specific point in time or to ask about the timing of an event or action.
Where does the space time graph bends for a star?
everywhere. it just gets weaker with distance, but the bending extends to infinity (after infinite time, as it propagates at the speed of light like all other information about the star is limited to).
