Detailed explanation-1: -Light does not travel in a straight path. It travels as a wave. However as the wavelength is very small, it looks like it travels in a straight line. Also when light travels from one medium to another, it bends.
Detailed explanation-2: -Light Travels in Straight Line Examples are as Follows: Light comes out from a torch or train or lamp follows a straight line path. A straight line path of light is visible when Sunlight comes out through the small holes in a dusty atmosphere.
Detailed explanation-3: -We can easily prove that light travels in a straight line because the moment we put some opaque object in front of our eyes, we are unable to see anything on the other side of it even though the objects on other side might be reflecting light.
Detailed explanation-4: -2.1 Reflection The Ancient Greek mathematician Euclid described the law of reflection in about 300 BCE. This states that light travels in straight lines and reflects from a surface at the same angle at which it hit it.
