In a medium of spatially varying refractive index, then light changes its direction, unless it is travelling exactly in the direction of the gradient of refractive index. For an extreme example, light is bent by a prism.
Light is bent in the presence of a gravitational field - which pretty well means all the time.

When can light bend?
Light can bend when it passes through different mediums with varying densities, such as air and water. This bending of light is called refraction. Additionally, light can also bend in the presence of gravitational fields, a phenomenon known as gravitational lensing.
Which light ray will bend the least when red green and blue light rays enter a drop of water?
Red light rays will bend the least when entering a drop of water, as red light has the longest wavelength of the visible light spectrum. Blue light rays will bend the most, as they have the shortest wavelength. Green light rays will bend somewhere in between red and blue.
Does light bend as it passes through materials?
Yes, light can bend as it passes through materials with different optical densities, a phenomenon known as refraction. This bending of light occurs due to the change in speed of light as it transitions from one medium to another.
Does white light reflect or bend?
White light can both reflect and bend. When white light hits a smooth surface, it will reflect off the surface at the same angle it hit it. When white light passes through a different medium like glass, it will bend due to refraction.
What can bend light?
Glass, water, and other transparent materials can bend light through a process called refraction. This occurs when light passes through different mediums at an angle and changes speed, causing the light to change direction. Mirrors can also bend light through reflection, where the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.
Do rainbows bend light?
No. Water droplets bend light to make rainbows.
How can a member of congress bend the rules?
they cant
Does light bend when it reflects on glass?
no , and its not calld 'bend' its called 'reflected' but its like bend but ITS NOT :)
How does light curve at all?
Light does not bend.
You cant bend forward at your waist?
See a doctor
Why cant solids bend?
some can some can,t
Why can't we bend our elbow backward?
because we cant :) :) :)
What conditions will bend light?
This phenomenon is called diffraction. when light is incident on the opaque substances having width comparable to wavelength of light then light bend.
What does light have to do with eyeglasses?
Bend it
If the refraction is large will it bend light more or less?
It will bend more.
When can light bend?
Light can bend when it passes through different mediums with varying densities, such as air and water. This bending of light is called refraction. Additionally, light can also bend in the presence of gravitational fields, a phenomenon known as gravitational lensing.
