When light bends, it changes direction due to interacting with a different medium or passing through a boundary between materials with different optical properties. This change in direction is known as refraction. Refraction occurs because the speed of light changes as it moves through different mediums, causing it to bend towards the normal (perpendicular line) of the material it is entering.
A concave lens bends light away from its center, diverging the light rays.
No, the amount by which light bends depends on its wavelength and the medium it is passing through. In general, red light bends less than blue light when passing through transparent materials, because red light has a longer wavelength.
Red light, which has the longest wavelength, bends the least when passing through a prism, while violet light, with the shortest wavelength, bends the most.
False. When light passes from water into air, it bends towards the normal.
No, when light passes into a denser material, it bends toward the normal. This phenomenon is known as refraction.

That would be refraction.
