A light ray is a straight line with speed c=fw. The speed c is a constant and the product of the wavelength, w and the frequency f. The frequency is f=c/w, inverse to the wavelength. If the wavelength is long the frequency is low; if the wavelength is small the frequency is high.

Why is a light ray drawn as a straight line?
Because lihgt travels in straight lines, proof of this can be found when light is emmited in a dusty atmosphere
What is a beam of light?
It is a type of ray that travels in a straight line without bending. Eg Search light,car and motor car,disco ray,sun ray and x_ray,radioactive rays.
What in nature can represent a line as in goes on forever and is straight?
In nature, nothing. Even a ray of light is bent by gravity.
Why is light called a ray?
light is called a ray because light travels in straight lines

How do the wavelength and frequency of an X-ray compare with those of the red light from a neon sign?
The wavelength of an X-ray is much shorter than the wavelength of a red light from a neon sign. The frequency is much longer in an X-ray than the frequency of a red light from a neon sign.
