refraction
When light rays are bent, they are called refracted. Refraction occurs when light passes through different mediums of different optical densities, causing the light rays to change direction.
A prism bends light of different colors by different amounts, but in general, violet light is bent the most, followed by blue, green, yellow, orange, and red. This separation of white light into its component colors is called dispersion.
When light moves from air to water, it changes speed and direction, causing the light rays to bend. This bending of light creates an optical illusion that makes the portion of the straw underwater appear bent. This effect is called refraction.
When a ray of light is shown at a prism, the light ray is refracted (bent) as it enters the prism, and then it is dispersed into different colors due to the different wavelengths of light being bent at different angles. This phenomenon is known as dispersion, and it causes the formation of a spectrum of colors called a rainbow.
When white light passes through a prism, blue light is bent the most followed by violet, while red light is bent the least. This separation of colors is known as dispersion.
Refraction.
The bouncing of light off a surface is called reflection. When a light wave is bent it is called refraction.

I believe what you are referring to is called Phototropism, which describes the way plants and some fungi respond to light.

Usually getting bent means getting drunk or stoned. In the UK being called Bent is slang for being called Gay !

Light rays are bent and brought by a refraction.
