What is bent light speed?

I have a question, if there is a straight beam of light that moves at the speed of light, is there a way to calculate the speed of bent light? since bending light causes it to lose momentum?

Example, with Atmospheric Refraction where the atmosphere causes light to bend as light passes through material.
