What direction does light travel in straight direction or wonky direction?
NORTHAmended answerLight travels in straight lines.
In what direction does light travel?
It travels in straight lines, However light cannot pass through walls, such as sound.
How many different directions can a single ray of light travel in?
A ray of light can travel in any direction, so an infinite number.
What is associated with weak light rays that travel in different direction?
scattering
What happens when light waves get reflected?
The light waves bounce off the surface and travel in a new direction
Is polarization a property of light waves but not sound waves?
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.
What is the definition of 'intereference'?
when two light waves of same frequency travel approximately in the same direction have a phase difference that remain constant w.r.to time

Do light travel to a single direction only?
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.
What direction does Mars travel?
It travels around the sun in the same direction as the other planets. This is considered the "positive" direction.
What happens when light waves get reflected?
The light waves bounce off the surface and travel in a new direction
Do compressions and rarefactions decompressions in a sound wave travel in the same direction or in opposite directions from one another?
Rarefactions decompressions travel in the same direction, because sound are longitudinal waves.
What is it called when light waves traveling in one direction are made to travel in many different directions?
Light travels in the direction it was emitted. Light cannot steer itself towards any particular object.
What has particles that vibrates at right angles to the direction of the wave?
Photons oscillate (vibrate) along an axis that is perpendicular to the direction of the photon's travel. Photons are responsible for all electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, invisible light (infrared and ultraviolet), X-rays, radio waves, and magnetic waves. . When all photons in a beam of light oscillate in same direction, that is called polarized light.
