change in direction of light / bending of light (synonyms)
"There are a several reasons why light does not travel in a straight line in some situations which we are going to discuss now. When light travels through a medium such as a prism, glass slab, water or different layers of earth's atmosphere, it can change directions. Additionally, a large gravitational force such as the sun can bend light rays, and make stars to appear at some other position which is not the actual position of the stars."

"Refraction is what happens when light passes from one translucent medium to another. As light enters a new medium, its speed changes, and its direction of travel changes. It is this change in direction, or 'bending' of light, that is commonly referred to as refraction."

In general, when entering a denser medium, light will refract (bend) towards the normal.

: Slažem se, ali se iz vaše 1. ref. jasno vidi da u ovom kontekstu to nisu sinonimi - "lom" bi bilo "change in direction" a "bending" = "savijanje svetla" http://www.astronomija.co.rs/galaksije/zvezde/2812-neutronsk... Obratiti pažnju na "often".
