Do earthquake P-waves travel in straight lines?
Earthquake P-waves don't travel in straight lines, they travel in like a circle after the earthquake has struck. These P-waves arrive first during an earthquake.
What is it called when light waves that travel in straight lines?
The phenomenon where light waves travel in straight lines is called rectilinear propagation. This means that light travels in a straight path unless it encounters a medium that causes it to change direction.
Does color travel in waves?
No it doesn't. Sound travels in waves, but light tavels in straight lines.
What kind of path does light waves travel?
Light waves travel in straight lines unless they encounter a medium density change or are reflected or refracted by a surface. This results in bending or scattering of the light waves along their path.
Does light travel through electromagnetic waves?
Yes, light is made up of electromagnetic waves. These waves travel in straight lines and do not require a medium for propagation. They can travel through a vacuum as well as through some materials, such as air and glass.
What are two ways energy can travel?
Energy can travel as electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves, which do not require a medium to propagate. It can also travel through mechanical waves, such as sound and seismic waves, which require a medium like air or water to transfer energy.
How does light travel in straight lines and in waves?
Light can be described as electromagnetic waves, which travel in straight lines because they do not bend or deviate unless they encounter an obstacle or medium that can refract or reflect them. The wave nature of light explains phenomena such as interference, diffraction, and polarization.
Do sound waves travel in a straight line?
no
Does fire travel in straight lines?
no
Why does heat travel in straight lines?
cuz it does
How do light rays travel light ray?
Light rays travel in straight lines called rays or beams. They propagate by transferring energy and momentum through particles or fields, such as photons in a vacuum or electromagnetic waves in a medium. Light rays can be reflected, refracted, or absorbed when interacting with different materials.
Can light waves always travel in staight lines?
You mean "can light waves travel in nonstraight lines?"? Yes, if they are diffracted or pass through different materials. Gravity can also affect light waves and curve them.
