Light travels in a straight line
Light travels as a wave and does not need any matter or material to carry its energy.
Light travels in the form of electromagnetic wave in free space and in material medium.
This is a matter of great controversy. While light is typically considered to be a wave, it has several particle properties as well. For example, the interference patterns that beams of light are capable of producing suggest that light behaves as a particle (particles of light are called photons). On the other hand, the way that light is an oscillation between perpendicular magnetic and electric fields suggests that it behaves as a wave.

Because either statement is quite correct (depending on given circumstances) light is considered to have a dual-nature as both a wave and a particle.

It goes as a wave. In any case, dissimilar to sound waves or water waves, it needn't bother with any matter or material to convey its vitality along. This implies that light can go through a vacuum a totally airless space

Lightning travels in waves. However, it does not require any substance to carry it along. It can travel in a vacuum or in airless areas.
