It just does not bend, its common sense
Edit: light does bend, but it is so fast, it doesn't look like it's bending. If you shoot a laser into the water, you can see that it bends as it touches the surface. Also, you can see that from the night sky. Stars' gravity can bend lights, sometimes stars appears to be bigger, or smaller than it really is.
But remember Newton's Laws. A body set in motion will continue ...

Do light travel in wave or in a straight path?
Light travels in straight paths because of its reflection
What do you call the straight path that light travels?
light travels in straight paths called rays
Why does light run in straight line?
Because a straight line is the shortest path it can follow between two points. However a locally straight line may not be a globally straight line. This is how a gravitational field bends the path of light according to General Relativity.
Does light travels in straight line?
Yes because, Light travels in a straight path called a light ray.
How can you support that light travels in a straight path?
To support that light travels in a straight path, take a flashlight and turn it on. Then, you could point it in any way around a room, upside down, angled, tilted, etc., and where ever you shine the flashlight, the ball of light is always straight across from the flashlight.
What path does light take?
light takes a straight path.
What are proporties of light?
light travels in a straight path
Is the path of light in water straight?
Yes. But the path of light across the water/air boundary is not.
In line segments and angles what is a ray or a line?
A line is a straight path that goes on forever in both directions. A ray is a straight path that goes on in one direction.
Do light travel in wave or in a straight path?
Light travels in straight paths because of its reflection
Is a straight path that goes on forever in two direction?
It is a straight line.
What do you call the straight path that light travels?
light travels in straight paths called rays
Is a straight path that goes on foever in two directions?
A line.
What proof say that light travel in a straight path?
From rectilinear propagation of light.
Is a strait path that begins at point and goes on forever?
If you mean a straight path, rather than a strait path, then it is a ray.
What is a straight path of points that goes on forever in each direction?
A ray is a straight path of points that goes on forever in only one direction. A line would go on forever in two directions.
What is called light traveling in a straight line?
A geodesical path
