A ray of light can travel in any direction, so an infinite number.
Light travels in the direction it was emitted. Light cannot steer itself towards any particular object.
NORTHAmended answerLight travels in straight lines.
It travels in straight lines, However light cannot pass through walls, such as sound.
True. When light reflects off a rough surface, the reflection is diffuse, meaning the light rays scatter in different directions. This is in contrast to a smooth surface where the reflection is more specular, and the light rays travel in a predictable direction.

Different Colors Of Light Travel At Different Speeds.
yes , if the light travel from less density to more density the speed will decrease , the direction will change depend on the entered angle
NORTHAmended answerLight travels in straight lines.
That is correct. Polarization is possible only when the direction of vibration is perpendicular to the direction of the wave travel, such is in light. In sound waves, the direction of vibration (compression) is the same direction as the direction of the travel of the sound wave, and therefore polarization is not possible.

The light from our sun radiates out in all direction as the sun is ball-shaped. The part of light that strikes the earth, forming daylight, is spread over a wide area of the earth that happens to be facing towards the sun at the time. This means that light doesn't travel in a single direction. A laser beam is an example of a concentrated beam of light travelling in a single direction.
Light is affected by a force called refraction which diverts its path depending on the 'thicknesss' of the medium it is traveling through. For example, a ray of light traveling through air and entering a thicker medium like glass will be refracted and travel in a different direction when it enters the glass. Different climates will create different atmospheric conditions which will make the light travel in different directions.
