Question

Light does not travel in a straight line.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. The fact that light is not absorbed by the atmosphere and its velocity is very high causes it to travel in straight lines.
2. When light strikes specific barriers, however, it might vary its route (away from a straight line).
3. Diffraction is a term used to describe this phenomenon.
4. Since diffraction is such a little effect, light is considered to move in a straight line.
5. Light only bends when it passes from one medium to another.
