Water will bend a beam of light. Try this put a stright pincil in a glass of water. The pencil is still stright but looks bent. The water is bending the beam of light.

Light bends when it changes from one medium to another, this is called refraction.

What does refraction means in terms of rainbows?
Refraction of bending lightrefraction means the bending of light, and the refraction of light in a prism causes to 'split' light in all its colors (that we can see and not see)Refraction is the bending of light. The bending of light is defined mathematically by Snell's law. The degree of bending through rain drops produces the various colors of the rainbow.
What is the word scientists use for the bending of light?
Diffraction is separating light into bands using a grid. Refraction is the bending of light.
What is the bending of light is called?
Refraction.
Is light bending going through a prism an example of a reflection?
Light bending as it passes through a prism is an example of refraction, not reflection.
Bending light rays so that they focus on the retina is called?
The bending of light rays so they focus on the retina is called refraction.
What is the name for bending light?
Refraction or Refraction of light is the scientific name for the bending of light. Same Thing.
