Light travels in straight lines on earth, so you can change its angle by refraction but not curve it. However over interstellar distances it has been observed that light is bent by gravitation.
A light curve is a graph showing the brightness of an astronomical object over time. In the case of novae or supernovae, their light curves exhibit a rapid increase in brightness followed by a gradual decrease. By analyzing the shape and characteristics of the light curve, astronomers can determine the type and nature of the astronomical event, helping to identify whether it is a nova or a supernova.
Light curves on Earth due to the planet's curvature. As light travels through the atmosphere, it refracts (bends) slightly. This refraction causes the light to curve downward, following the Earth's surface rather than traveling in a straight line.
the intensity of radiation emitted at that wavelength, giving a characteristic spectral distribution that depends only on the temperature of the object emitting the light.
The curve typically starts with a steep increase in photosynthesis rate as light intensity increases, as more energy is available for the process. This is followed by a plateau where the rate levels off, indicating that other factors like temperature or enzyme availability are limiting the rate of photosynthesis. Finally, the curve may even decline at very high light intensities due to damage to the photosynthetic machinery.
A banked curve.

Light does not bend.
A light curve graph that displays an object's brightness over time mostly used in variable star astronomy.
The term "polar curve", in relation to the subject of illumination refers to the spread of light from a source. If the curve is weak, then little illumination is provided, whilst the opposite is true for a strong curve.
Along a geodesic curve.
yes they do.
Light curve data can be used to study the variability of a celestial object by tracking changes in its brightness over time. By analyzing the patterns and fluctuations in the light curve, astronomers can gain insights into the object's properties, such as its rotation rate, presence of companions, or changes in its activity.

Red, Blue and Green light occupy a very narrow, but unbroken, part of the full range of electromagnetic radiation curve
Red, i think.
The peak's area under the curve represents the percentage of light energy absorbed. To calculate the percentage, divide the peak's area by the total area under the curve and multiply by 100.
The curve in a lens causes light rays to either converge or diverge, which leads to refraction. In a convex lens, the curved shape causes the light rays to converge, focusing them to a point. In a concave lens, the light rays diverge, spreading out as they pass through the lens.
