General relativity, formulated by Albert Einstein, is a theory of gravitation that describes gravity as the warping of spacetime by mass and energy, rather than as a force acting at a distance. It fundamentally changed our understanding of the universe, predicting phenomena such as the bending of light around massive objects and the existence of black holes.

The bending of light, known as refraction, occurs when light passes from one medium to another, changing speed and direction due to the different optical densities. This phenomenon is critical in applications such as lenses, prisms, and optical fibers, enabling the manipulation of light paths for various technologies.
