Yes. But the path of light across the water/air boundary is not.
light takes a straight path.
light travels in a straight path
light travels in straight paths called rays
how does water affect light path
Light travels in a straight line, moving in a straight path known as a ray.
Yes, light can travel in a non-straight path when it encounters different mediums that cause it to bend or refract, such as in water or glass. This phenomenon is known as refraction and is responsible for optical illusions like the bending of a straw in a glass of water.
From rectilinear propagation of light.
Normally light travels in a straight line. However, it has been demonstrated that gravity can bend the path of light.
A geodesical path
All the directions
With a curved path you have to slow down to curve as with a straight path you dont have to slow down you can do as fast as you need to go to get threw it.
The beam of light from a flashlight appears straight in heavy fog because the water droplets in the fog scatter the light in all directions, making it visible in a straight line within the beam's path. This diffused light creates the appearance of a straight beam even though the light is actually dispersing in multiple directions.
