Final answer:

Light bends when moving from one transparent medium to another due to refraction caused by a change in speed.


Step-by-step explanation:

When light moves from one transparent medium to another, it bends due to a change in speed. This phenomenon is known as refraction. Refraction occurs because light waves travel at different speeds in different mediums, causing the light to change direction when it enters a new medium.
