Could a powerful electromagnet influence the electromagnetic field enough to bend visible light?

Answer 1

since light is a duelity of photons and em waves scientist suggest it is bent however for some reason their are claims that if the componants are in a vacuum such as space there will be no reaction

Answer 2

In a simple word, NO

Light waves sometimes appear to experience small shift when pasing through another wave, however they immediately return to ther original path after passing through the wave, so the total effect of the shift is nothing. Thus the answer that light waves can not be bent by electromagnetic fields.

Answer 3

No, a powerful electromagnet would not be able to influence the electromagnetic field enough to bend visible light. Visible light travels at a very high speed and is not easily affected by magnetic fields. To bend light, a much stronger force like gravity or a large mass would be needed.

Answer 4

Yes. Gravitational fields bend light. This is very noticeable with massive objects.
