Light will bend when it passes through different mediums with varying densities, such as air and water, causing a change in its speed and direction. This phenomenon is known as refraction.
Light will bend and exhibit the phenomenon of refraction when it passes from one medium to another with a different optical density, such as air to water or air to glass. This bending occurs due to the change in speed of light as it travels through different mediums, causing it to change direction.
In a medium of spatially varying refractive index, then light changes its direction, unless it is travelling exactly in the direction of the gradient of refractive index. For an extreme example, light is bent by a prism. Light is bent in the presence of a gravitational field - which pretty well means all the time.
Light can bend when it passes through different mediums with varying densities, such as air and water. This bending of light is called refraction. Additionally, light can also bend in the presence of gravitational fields, a phenomenon known as gravitational lensing.
Actually, that is a great question. I was just doing my homework when that question popped up. In fact, light does not bend. Have you ever seen light travel around a corner? Or under a table? Or through a closed door? Sound, on the other hand, is not like light. Notice that when you pass a corner, go under a table, or close a door, you can still hear whatever noise is happening in your area.
Red light rays will bend the least when entering a drop of water, as red light has the longest wavelength of the visible light spectrum. Blue light rays will bend the most, as they have the shortest wavelength. Green light rays will bend somewhere in between red and blue.
This phenomenon is called diffraction. when light is incident on the opaque substances having width comparable to wavelength of light then light bend.
Under normal conditions, mercury is a liquid, so you can't really bend that. However if you cooled it until it solidified, I guess you could bend it.

An optical lens can only bend light, not make something appear. An optical filter might help, but only under certain lighting conditions.

No. Water droplets bend light to make rainbows.
Photoreceptors allow light to be converted into signals that allow for biological processes. They are essential for the process known as photosynthesis. Photoreception occurs under light conditions when the photoreceptors absorb photons.
clean warm..... and light
no , and its not calld 'bend' its called 'reflected' but its like bend but ITS NOT :)
Light does not bend.
Light doesn't have to be invented. Emitting radiation in the form of light is a naturally occurring phenomena under some conditions.
Bend it
