Want this question answered?
Light could bend when it enters a prism. A prism is a transparent object such as glass.
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!
A glass prism
Yes. The best known is the prism effect of a rainbow; but magnetic fields and gravity also bend light.
Unknown, but Newton formalized it and wrote it up.

Yes, they make light bend inwards towards a focus point.
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
The ray will bend towards the normal.
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.
The trick behind this is that light is photons, which are massless.
