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.
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.
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.
Yes, light can bend as it passes through materials with different optical densities, a phenomenon known as refraction. This bending of light occurs due to the change in speed of light as it transitions from one medium to another.
The large beam of light doesn't bend because it is traveling straight through the same medium. When light enters a new medium, like water in this case, with a different refractive index, it can bend due to the change in speed. This is known as refraction. The two smaller beams in the middle of the tank, entering from the air into water, experience refraction which causes them to bend.
White light can both reflect and bend. When white light hits a smooth surface, it will reflect off the surface at the same angle it hit it. When white light passes through a different medium like glass, it will bend due to refraction.
No. Water droplets bend light to make rainbows.
no , and its not calld 'bend' its called 'reflected' but its like bend but ITS NOT :)
Light does not bend.
This phenomenon is called diffraction. when light is incident on the opaque substances having width comparable to wavelength of light then light bend.
Bend it
It will bend more.

Those pieces of shaped glass are called lenses. Lenses are designed to refract or bend light in specific ways so that objects appear magnified or clearer in telescopes.

Yes, that is correct. The index of refraction of a material determines how much light will bend as it enters the material. A higher index of refraction means that the light will bend more as it enters the material.
