If light did not travel in a straight line?
Light is a particle that acts like a wave and therefore does not travel in a straight line. light has nothing to do with gravity, the fourth dimension or the 'fabric' of space time.
Why does light travel straight?
light travels in a straight line because it can only be bend by reflective objects.
Four properties of light?
one of the properties of light is that light travel at straight line
Why does light travel in straight lines give with evidence?
the light travels in a straight line becauise it is going straight on to you object what you are looking at.
Why doesn't light travel as straight or far in water as in air?
There are more things for the light waves to bounce off of in water, so light can not travel in a straight line or as far.
How light travels in straight lines?
Light will travel in a straight line when there is nothing to refract, reflect, or diffuse it from it's course.
When does light travel in a straight line?
travels through a uniform medium
Does light travels in a straight line?
While light will travel in essentially a straight line, it is affected by gravity. A strong enough gravitational pull can bend light and actually change its direction.
What TYPE of lines does light travel in?
Light travels in a straight line under most conditions.
What is the name of when light travel in a straight line?
Normal. It takes a lot of mass to bend light.
What kind of line does light travel?
Normally light travels in a straight line. However, it has been demonstrated that gravity can bend the path of light.
What would happen if light didn't travel in a straight line?
If light does not travel in a straight line, vision would not be accurate since objects will appear to be in different places. The reflected light that hits the eyes will bring images from different areas.
How does light travel in straight line?
It does not, it is bent by very strong gravitational fields
Does light travel in a straight lineWhy?
Light travels in astraight line as it has the property known as the rectilinear prpogation of light.
Evidence that light travel in a straight line?
I can't really think of any "evidence" of this that isn't trivially obvious. Take an object. Put something in between you and the object. Can you still see it? Then light must travel in a straight line.However... in fact, light does not travel in a straight line, it travels along a geodesic path, which ordinarily happens to be very, very close to a straight line. Near very massive objects, though, geodesics are not even close to straight lines.
Does light travel on a straight line?
Yes, according to the rectilinear propagation of light, light does travel in a straight line. The only two things that can possibly alter that are near-relativistic speeds, and intense gravity. The latter was proven during a total solar eclipse in 1919.
What are the similarities between light and gamma rays?
Light ray and gamma ray both travel in a straight line.
Does energy travel in a straight line?
Energy does always travel in a straight line. It is true that close to a massive object the energy may 'appear' to bend, but this is simply because mass bends space, a straight line through curved space is still a straight line. So the reason that energy travels in a straight line is because a straight line is actually defined as the path taken by a beam of light!
Do Light waves always travel in staight lines?
No, light waves don't always travel in a straight line although they do move away from a source in a straight lineMagnetic forces and other kind of interference have the ability to bend and refract light waves; such as black holes.
How does light travel and how fast does it travel?
In a straight line and at 186,000 miles per second (in a vacuum).
