SUMMARY
Light does not bend in a strong electromagnetic field; instead, it experiences rotation due to the Faraday effect. This phenomenon occurs when light passes through a medium in the presence of a magnetic field, resulting in a change in polarization. The discussion clarifies that this effect is not applicable in a vacuum, where light travels in a straight line without deviation.
