What causes light rays to refract?
light travels in straight path and when speed of medium in which light travels change then it refract due to change in speed light rays bend and refract

What is an object that bends light?
Light doesn't bend or curve. It only goes in straight lines, but you can change its direction using a shiny surface by reflection.Another way to change its path is to pass it from one transparent medium to another with a different molecular structure. The change in path as it moves from one medium to another is called refraction.
What 2 ways does light bend?
Reflection means complete change in path when light strikes a mirror and refraction means bending of a ray of light when passing from on medium to another.
