Can we make light travel in a non straight path?
Yes; light is known to bend around planets, due to gravity.
What kind of line does light travel?
Normally light travels in a straight line. However, it has been demonstrated that gravity can bend the path of light.
What causes light traveling in a straight line to bend?
Gravity. (Or the shape of space - which is molded by gravity.)
Does light bend around objects that are in the way?
No light travels in a straight line. However, it can be reflected to give the impression it has travelled around an object.
What causes light rays to refract?
light travels in straight path and when speed of medium in which light travels change then it refract due to change in speed light rays bend and refract
Why does light travel straight?
light travels in a straight line because it can only be bend by reflective objects.
What is the name of when light travel in a straight line?
Normal. It takes a lot of mass to bend light.
How does a solar eclipse show that light travels in straight?
If light did not travel in a straight line then the light would just bend around the body that is suppose to be making a shadow and no shadow would be observed. as there is a shadow cast by that body this proves that light does not bend and in fact travels in a straight line.

What does a plant stand up straight with water pressure?
a plant stands up straight because it is reaching to the light source which is usually straight above it. it will bend to the light if the source is not above it

Gravity. (Or the shape of space - which is molded by gravity.)
Did the light travel in a straight path through the air before it reached the bowl of water?
Light always travels in a straight line. It's direction can be changed, by reflection or refraction, but it does not bend.
Does light bend around objects that are in the way?
No light travels in a straight line. However, it can be reflected to give the impression it has travelled around an object.
What are the meaning of straight lines?
Light travels in a straight line. The path of light can be bent by very massive objects because they actually bend space.
What causes light rays to refract?
light travels in straight path and when speed of medium in which light travels change then it refract due to change in speed light rays bend and refract
What is the name for a bend in a straight road?
a curve... Well that could be an answer however it is not possible to have a bend or a curve 'in' a straight road. A curve or bend is, by definition, after the end of one straight section and before the beginning of the next; so it can not be 'in' a straight road.
