Answer:

A beam in bending experiences tensile stresses on one side and compressive stresses on the other side.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • A beam of light bending experiences bending stress. There exists tension inside and outside the curve. The transverse plains in the materials remains parallel to the radius during bending.
