It would go in a straight path

When light passes through a single medium, it will continue in a straight line at a constant speed, unless it interacts with particles in the medium causing it to scatter or be absorbed. The speed of light in a medium may be different than in a vacuum, leading to refraction.

What is a single disturbance that travels through a medium?
A good example of a single disturbance that travels through a medium is a sound wave. Sound waves are created by vibrating objects that disturb the particles of a medium (such as air, water, or solids), causing a chain reaction of disturbances that propagate through the medium as pressure waves.
What will light do when passing through a single medium?
Light will continue in a straight line through the medium unless it encounters a boundary or a change in the medium's properties. It may be absorbed, reflected, or refracted depending on the characteristics of the medium.
A single disturbance that moves from point to point through a medium is called a?
wave.
What happens when light goes through a single median?
When light goes through a single medium, it continues in a straight line but may change speed depending on the properties of the medium. The speed change may cause the light to bend or refract.
A single bump or disturbance that travels through a medium?
A wave is a single bump or disturbance that travels through a medium, such as air or water, transferring energy without transferring matter. Waves can be classified into mechanical waves, like sound waves and water waves, or electromagnetic waves, like light waves.
Does interference happen when a wave passes from one medium to another at an angle?
No. Refraction does. A single wave doesn't encounter interference until there's another wave present.

What will happen if you pass dc current through a single coil?
If dc current is passed through a single coil, it is going to remain constant.

Can the speed of a single wave change?
No, the speed of a single wave, such as a light wave or sound wave, is determined by the medium it is traveling through and the properties of that medium. Once the wave is traveling through a specific medium, its speed remains constant.
How does an unpolarised light incident on a polaroid get polarised describe briefly with diagram of polarisation of light by reflection through a transparent medium?
When unpolarised light passes through a polaroid, the polaroid selectively absorbs the light waves oscillating in one direction, allowing only light waves oscillating in the perpendicular direction to pass through. This results in the unpolarised light becoming polarised, with its electric field vibrating in a single plane. The diagram for polarisation of light by reflection through a transparent medium involves light waves hitting the medium's surface at an angle, with only the waves oscillating in a specific direction being transmitted while the others are absorbed or reflected.
What is the type of smooth muscle in which an impulse passes through a large number of cells which subsequently contract in synchrony?
single unit smooth muscle
If a laser beam consists of light of only a single color will it produce a spectrum of colors when it passes through a glass prism?
No. Monochromatic light (light of a single color) will pass through the prism without dispersing. White light disperses into its constituent colors as it passes through a prism, and we therefore observe the different colors emerging in a dispersal pattern as the light emerges from the opposite side of the prism. Since monochromatic light is made up of only one color, there are no colors to disperse, and so the beam of light passes through the prism coherently.
Do any lines of longitude go through the equator?
Longitude lines appear "vertical" and latitude lines appear "horizontal." Every single line of longitude passes through the equator. If you meant to say latitude, then the answer is no. Not a single one (they run parallel).
