diffraction
The bending of light around corners is called diffraction. This phenomenon occurs when light waves encounter an obstacle or aperture that causes them to spread out and bend around the edges.
Light that bends around corners is called diffraction. This phenomenon occurs when light encounters an obstacle and spreads out, creating patterns of light and dark fringes.
No. It's called "refraction".
The bending of light is called refraction. This occurs when light travels through different mediums, such as air and water, causing the light ray to change its direction.
The process of light bending is called refraction. This occurs when light passes through different mediums, such as air to water, causing the light to change direction.

Light generally travels in straight lines, which means it does not go around corners in the same way that sound waves can. However, under certain conditions, such as when light passes through a narrow slit or around an obstacle, it can exhibit diffraction, causing it to bend slightly and create patterns. This bending is limited and does not allow light to navigate around sharp corners effectively. Thus, while light can exhibit some bending, it does not truly "go around corners" like some other types of waves.

diffraction
Diffraction means bending. Okay. Bending of what? Bending of waves. Waves may be sound wave, or waves on the surface of water and even light wave. Bending at? Bending at the sharp edges of the obstacle on the way of movement of the wave. If suppose light is not a wave then diffraction phenomenon may not be possible. The very diffraction phenomenon establishes once again that light is a wave.
It is called refraction.
The bending of light due to great masses is called Gravitational MicroLensing.
