Does not happen.
Period.
End of story.
But they can seem to bend:
When light enters a substance with a higher optical density it is refracted towards the normal of the face that it contacted (it seems to bend towards the middle of the substance). It "bends" away when it enters a substance of a lesser optical density. It changes direction because light is a wave. Think of 5 or so people all standing shoulder to shoulder, and walking down a field. If two on the end run into some mud and have to slow down the other three will change direction and all five will enter the mud (assuming they must remain shoulder to shoulder). Those five represent a wave of light.
The other time that light seems to "bend" is near black holes or pretty much anything that is super dense like a black hole. This is because that super dense object actually warps space around it (picture a Bowling ball on a trampoline where space is the trampoline). If you are far enough away from the black hole you will be unable to observe this warping, and light near the black hole will seem to bend, but this light is still following a straight line by its perspective.
What else can I help you with?
How do convex lenses work to focus light rays?
Convex lenses work to focus light rays by bending them inward towards a central point called the focal point. This bending of light rays helps to converge the rays and create a clear and magnified image.
How do lens interact with light?
Lenses interact with light by refracting it, which means bending the light rays as they pass through the lens. This bending of light helps converge or diverge the light rays to form an image, depending on the shape of the lens. Convex lenses converge light rays to a focal point, while concave lenses diverge light rays.
What part of the eye causes the greatest bending of light rays?
The cornea is the part of the eye that causes the greatest bending of light rays as they enter the eye. It is responsible for about two-thirds of the eye's total focusing power.
Is the bending of light rays a reflection?
No, the bending of light rays is not reflection. It is called refraction, which occurs when light passes through different mediums and changes speed, causing the light rays to bend. Reflection involves the bouncing back of light rays off a surface.
What causes the bending of light in reflection?
The bending of light in reflection is caused by the difference in the speed of light in the two different mediums (air and a denser material) at the interface. This change in speed leads to refraction, resulting in the bending of light rays at the boundary.
What is the bending of light rays?
Refraction
The of light rays is caused by glass bending light rays?
Refraction of light rays occurs when light passes through a medium with a different optical density, such as glass, causing the light rays to change direction. This bending of light rays is due to the change in speed of light as it moves from one medium to another.

What is the bending of light rays by the cornea lens and fluids of the eye?
Refraction
What is refletion and rerfrction in light?
reflection of light is when light bounces off an object, particularly a mirror (or something like that). refraction is the bending of light rays, when light rays flow through a substance (particularly curved). Ex: a straw looks at an angle when put into water, when it's really just the light rays bending.
