When can light bend?
Light could bend when it enters a prism. A prism is a transparent object such as glass.
What is a transparent object that allows light to bend?
A glass prism
Can light rays bend?
Yes. The best known is the prism effect of a rainbow; but magnetic fields and gravity also bend light.
Is light can be bent or refracted?
Well light can only bend. It was first discovered by Albert Estein,when he found out that light does bend. But am not sure about if light refract.
What happens when light strikes a prism?
If the light enters the prism at an angle the light will bend. The amount the light will bend depends on its wavelength. Each wavelength is bent a different amount effectively splitting the light into its constituent wavelengths. Visible light (390 - 750 nm) will split into a rainbow. see link below

When light passes through a prism why does the light ray bend towards the base of the prism?
reflection

What is an object that bends light and is triangular?
A prism is an object that can bend light and has a triangular shape. It has two triangular bases and three rectangular sides, which causes light to refract or bend when it passes through it, separating it into different colors. Prisms are commonly used in optics and experiments to study the properties of light.
When a beam of light is falling on prism surface and bend then which force is apply on its corner?
The trick behind this is that light is photons, which are massless.
Does ultraviolet light or visible light bend more when passing through a prism?
the last one on the list
What is a science instrument that bends light?
The science instrument is called Prism. It actually does not bend light. It separates the light into seven different colours.
Why light rays does not bend towards thicker part while passing through prsm?
It is very difficult to answer this question since it is based on a total misunderstanding of what actually happens. Light rays, when passing through a triangular prism DO bend towards the thicker part of the prism!
Who discovered light refracts through a prism?
Luis is the coolest person in the world
