How is heat capacity a path function?
Heat capacity is NOT a path function. It is a STATE function. It depends on the phase of the material, the temperature and the pressure. Usually heat capacity is known at some particular condition and then a calculation is required to estimate it at the condition of interest. Performing these calculations should always result in the same final value no matter the path you took to get to the value - hence it is a STATE function rather than PATH. Path functions would be things like WORK and HEAT (for which the state function "heat capacity" might be used in the calculations)
What path does light travel?
It's always straight - as far as the light is concerned. If space is curved then the light follows the curve.
The type of heat transfer that does not always require matter to occur?
Radiation by EM waves which can travel in a vacuum
Does light traveling in empty space always travel in straight lines?
No'if solar neutinos(what the sun gives off) hit it it can disrupt the lights path
How does light travel What is the path of light?
Ray Ray
Does heat depend on path?
Not really, if you're referring to heat transfer, then the heat will use the path of least resistance. So the heat doesn't rely on the path as much as it does on the material that the heat must travel through.
What does heat always travel from?
Waves waves
Light will almost always travel from one place to another along a path of least?
Light will almost always travel from one place to another along a path that takes the least amount of time. This does not imply that it will take the path involves the least distance all the time.
How does thermal energy get from place to place?
If there is physical matter between two points, then thermal energy (heat) can travel between them by means of conduction or convection. If there is no material in the path, or the material in the path is transparent in the infrared, then thermal energy can travel the path by radiation.

What is short circuit?
Short circuit is the case when electricity, instead of travel through the design circuit path, jump across an unintended low resistance path and bypass the design circuit.A short circuit is a path for an electric current to travel through where there is very little resistance. This path is often, but not always, through a wire connected directly to a ground, and is often, but not always, unintentional.

Name the path on which planets travel?
The path on which planets travel is called their orbit.
