Light waves travel in Straight Lines, but when a light beam passes close to a massive object, then the light beam will be deflected by the Gravity Well of that body. Otherwise known as the Curvature of Space-Time.

How does light ray travel?
Light rays travel in straight paths as transverse waves. It needs no medium to travel along.
How do light rays travel light ray?
Light Rays travel in straight paths as transverse waves. It needs no medium to travel along.
Do light waves travel in straight paths called rays?
google it lazy bum. No, light waves are just that-- waves. The color of the wave is determined by it's frequency- normal light is white because it is low frequency. The frequency is how fast the light "waves". But a laser pointer has red light, which has a higher frequency, and therefore is only one color. Hope this helps!
How do sound waves travel compared to light waves?
light waves fast
Do sound waves or light waves travel faster?
In air, light waves travel about 871 thousand times faster than sound waves.

How does light travel through AVACUUM?
Light waves do not need a medium to propagate. Sound waves cannot travel without a medium. Light waves always travel at the speed of light that is 3*108m/s.
What are the waves that travel from the sun to earth?
Light waves travel from sun to the earth.
Does light travel in waves?
yes it travels in waves.
How do you differentiate light waves from sound waves?
You can see light waves (or particles . . .) but you cannot hear them. sound must travel thru matter , light can travel thru vacuum
What are waves that travel through space at the speed of light called?
All electromagnetic waves travel through space at the "speed of light". Light is one form of electromagnetic waves.
Why do electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light?
Radio-waves, like light, are electromagnetic waves and hence travel at the speed of light.
Does electomagnetic waves travel at speed of light?
Yes. Light IS electromagnetic waves.
