Do Light waves bend or refract at what between two media?
Light waves bend or refract when they pass from one medium to another due to a change in speed caused by the change in the medium's optical density. This bending of light is governed by Snell's Law, which describes how the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction are related to each other.
Why does light bend when it passes from air into glass?
Light changes speed when it passes from air to glass due to the difference in optical density between the two mediums. This change in speed causes the light to bend or refract. The bending of light is governed by Snell's Law which relates the angles of incidence and refraction to the refractive indices of the two mediums.
Why doesn't the larger beam of light bend like the two beams in the middle of the tank?
The larger beam of light doesn't appear to bend in a fish tank because light rays only bend when they pass through mediums with different densities, like air and water. In this case, the larger beam of light is already traveling through the water, so it doesn't encounter a change in density that would cause it to bend.
Why does't the large beam of light bend like the two beams in the middle the of tank?
The large beam of light doesn't bend like the two beams in the middle of the tank because it is traveling through a medium of uniform density. When light passes through mediums of varying density, like in the case of the two beams in the tank, refraction (bending of light) occurs due to the change in speed of light in those mediums.
Why doesn't the large beam of light bend like 2 beams in the middle of the tank?
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.
Do rainbows bend light?
No. Water droplets bend light to make rainbows.
Will light always bend when it changes medium?
Not always. It won't bend if it enters the new medium perpendicular to the surface that separates them, and it won't bend when the refractive indices of the two media are equal.
Will light bend if it enters a new material?
Yes. It depends on the angle of incidence and the details of refractive index of materials.

Does light bend when it reflects on glass?
no , and its not calld 'bend' its called 'reflected' but its like bend but ITS NOT :)
How does light curve at all?
Light does not bend.

What conditions will bend light?
This phenomenon is called diffraction. when light is incident on the opaque substances having width comparable to wavelength of light then light bend.
What does light have to do with eyeglasses?
Bend it
