Light bends away from the normal (the line perpendicular to the surface) when it goes from water to air. This bending is known as refraction and occurs due to the change in speed of light as it moves from one medium to another with a different refractive index.
When light goes from water to air, it undergoes refraction, causing it to change speed and direction. This change in speed and direction is due to the different optical densities of water and air. As a result, the light ray bends away from the normal line at the water-air boundary.
The phenomenon you are referring to is called refraction. It occurs when light travels from one medium, such as air, to another medium, like water or glass, causing the light to change speed and bend.
The frequency of light remains constant as it changes medium from air to water. However, the speed and wavelength of light will change, causing it to bend or refract.
Light bends towards the normal when it goes from air into water due to the increase in optical density of the medium, leading to a decrease in speed of light and hence bending towards the normal.
When light goes from a less dense to a more dense medium, it slows down and changes direction. This change in speed and direction is known as refraction. Refraction occurs because the speed of light is different in different mediums, causing the light waves to bend as they enter the more dense medium.

up because when heated, it becomes light and goes up.
No. The amount that a particular medium bends light is related to the speed of light within that medium, not its transparency. The medium that light travels through affects the light's speed, and the greater the reduction of speed, the greater the angular distortion. For example, light travels faster through normal air than through glass or water, so when light hits a sheet of glass or a water droplet at an angle, it slows down and changes direction; when it hits the other side of the glass or water droplet and goes back into air it speeds up and changes direction again. if the two sides are perfectly parallel the light travels on in the same direction, but if they are not (as in a prism or a round water droplet), the light can continue on in a different direction. in fact, different wavelengths of light are deflected different amounts by entry into or exit from a given medium, which is what produces spectrums from prisms and rainbows from suspended water droplets. You can test this in a pool, pond, or bathtub: notice how when you look straight down into the water things are not very distorted (though they appear to be a little closer than you'd expect), but when you bend down and look into the water at an angle, objects that are straight look like they have a distinct bend in them.
The refraction of light is the change in direction of a light ray when it crosses a boundary between two transparent substances. Refraction of light is the change in direction of a light ray due to a change in its speed as it goes from one medium to another.The speed and wavelength of a light ray change when this occurs, but the frequency remains the same.When light travels from denser medium to rarer medium it moves away from the normal [line at right angles to the boundary] and when light travels from rarer to denser it moves towards the normal.
Light changes speed and direction when it goes from air into glass. This phenomenon is known as refraction. The change in speed causes the light to bend, which is why objects may appear distorted when viewed through a glass surface.
Light bends or refracts when it goes from water to air because the speed of light is different in the two mediums due to their different densities. This change in speed causes the light to change direction.
It can be "bent" by passing through a medium of varying density, such as the image of a bent stick placed in a glass of water. This is known as refraction, where the speed of light is slightly lower through water, tricking our eyes into seeing a bent stick. However, in very precise technical terms, light can actually be bent, as it is only radiation. Black holes bend light, which is literally why they are black. The light cannot escape the black holes super strong gravitational pull (If passing by, it may just bent.). The sun for instance, can bend light by 1/1000th of a degree, so tiny that when earth bends light, we may as well say it does not at all. That is why this question asks "Why doesn't light bend?".
The speed of light depends on the electrical properties of whatever substance it's in. It has nothing to do with what substance it used to be in before, or what substance it's going into next. -- If it goes from air into vacuum, its speed increases. -- If it goes from air into water, its speed decreases. -- If it goes from water into air, its speed increases. -- If it goes from water into diamond or jello, its speed decreases.
