How do bend light?

lenses bend light by having the light pass through the glass(or whatever material) of the lense in which the light will slow down. As the light enters the glass the very first part of the ray will slow down alowing other parts to catch up. This makes the light bend towards the normal (perpendicular to side of glass). As the light leaves the glass the oposite occurs. The light that leaves the glass goes faster leaving other parts behind and bending it away form the normal. How much the light bends depends on the shape of the lense the material of the lense and the angle that the light comes in at.
