The speed of light though substances is slower than the speed of light in a vacuum. As the light passes from air to water it slows and the ray's path is translated towards the normal to the air/water interface slightly.
Light bends when passing through a lens due to refraction, which is the change in speed and direction of light as it travels from one medium to another. The shape of the lens causes the light rays to converge or diverge, focusing the light to create an image.
When a light ray is directed at a prism, it bends due to refraction at the first surface of the prism. Inside the prism, the light ray may undergo further refraction as it travels through the prism material. Finally, when the light ray exits the prism, it bends again due to refraction at the second 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.
When light bends, it is called refraction. Refraction occurs when light travels from one medium to another, causing a change in its speed and direction. This phenomenon is commonly observed when light passes through substances of different optical densities, such as air and water.
When light travels into a denser material, such as glass or water, it slows down and bends towards the normal, not away. This phenomenon is known as refraction.

true, it does bend when it travles through water.

it travels at c (speed of light in a vacuum)
the light bends.
When light is Refracted it bends when it travels from one medium to another
When there's no gravity, light just travels in one direction at the speed of light. Gravity bends the direction at which light travels.
