Yes, light typically travels in straight lines, a principle known as rectilinear propagation. This means that light will continue in a straight path unless it encounters a medium that causes it to change direction, such as through reflection or refraction.

Dose light travel in stright or curved lines?

Light travels in straight lines, known as rays. However, when light passes through different mediums of varying densities, it can refract or bend. In everyday circumstances, light travels in straight lines unless influenced by external factors.


How long dose it take for light to travle 100m?

Light travels at a speed of approximately 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum. To travel 100 meters, it would take light approximately 0.000000336 seconds.


What way dose sound travel?

Sound travels in waves through a medium, such as air, water, or solids. When an object vibrates, it creates a disturbance in the surrounding medium, causing molecules to collide and transfer energy to create sound waves that propagate outward from the source.


Does light need a material to travel in?

Yes. It's a wave. By definition a wave is an emergent phenomenon which arises from a disturbance in an underlying medium. By analogy, how can you have a wave without water? For any harrumphing Einsteinian Relativists out there, I believe old Albert's main contribution to 20th Century physics was to restate Lorentzian Relativity to accommodate the results of the Michelson-Morley experiment. Alas, it would appear that the results of that experiment were misunderstood and Lorentz is gaining in the final furlong...


Does an opaque object cast a shadow?

Yes, an opaque object blocks light, creating a shadow behind it. The shadow is the area where light is obstructed from reaching, resulting in a darker region.
