Under what conditions will light bend?

Physics

Light will not bend under any conditions.  It always proceeds straight
along its path.

The path can bend ... either abruptly, at an interface between two
media with different refractive indices, or continuously, when the
index of refraction changes along a line perpendicular to the path
(as it does in the Earth's atmosphere).

Light CAN in fact bend, but maybe not on Earth. At least as far as I know. Near a black hole, where gravitational force is so strong that even light is sucked, light is bent do
Ue to the gravitational force. This is how astronomers find and identify black holes.

In 1600, Dr. William Gilbert coined the term “electrica,” a word that gave rise to our word electricity.
mrs_skeptik [129]

They recorded the first references to electrical effects, such as static electricity and lightning, over 2,500 years ago. It was not until 1600 that a man named Dr. William Gilbert coined the term “electrica,” a Latin word which describes the static charge that develops when certain materials are rubbed against amber.

How does Newton's second law apply to the egg drop?
avanturin [10]
<span> Newtons First Law is applied on my egg experiment because it will not move or change it's acceleration until a force acts upon it. In this case, one example of those forces would be Mr. Baker picking up the egg project. Newton's Second Law is applied because of the acceleration caused by natural forces as the egg is plummeting to the earth.</span>

What conclusion does the student most likely make based
inna [77]

Answer:

option a

Explanation:

Light is an electromagnetic wave which can travel in vacuum as well as any medium. The speed of light is maximum in vacuum. The electromagnetic wave travels by oscillating electric and magnetic field to the direction of motion of wave.

On the other hand, sound waves are mechanical waves which can only travel in a medium as they can only move forward by oscillating material particles.

Thus, the student should conclude option a.
