In straight lines (well, "geodesic" might be a better term), and at the speed of light in the medium they're in.

∙ 9y agoby itself many scientists figured out that light travels by itself you can see light moving you cant touch it and cant hear it same with oxygen. oxygen is always around us we breath it and sometimes see it

Light can travel through undistorted
Four properties of light?
one of the properties of light is that light travel at straight line
How long does it take to travel one light year?
Light travels 9,460,730,472,580.8 Km. in one year.
How much is 9.7 light years?
well it depends on what you are measuring your 'much' in. First thing is, a light year is a distance not a time. It is defined as the distance light would travel in the time of one human year. Now to define this: light travels at ~300000000ms-1 and there are 31536000s in one year, so light will travel: 300000000*31536000 = 9.5x1015 metres in one year (that is 95 followed by 14 zeros! so a long distance) so in 9.7 light years light will travel 9.2x1016 metres. Which is a very very long distance.
In one minute how many times can light travel around the earth?

Does one type of light travel faster then another in a vacuum?
no
How does light travel through a carvex lens?
IF you meant a convex lens - light entering the lens is bent because it's passing from one medium to another - to converge at the focal point.
Do you travel at the speed of light in a wormhole?
Nobody has measured this, and it isn't even known whether a wormhole actually exist. Probably not - they are very hypothetical. The idea of a wormhole, however, is that it would let you travel instantly, or almost instantly, from one point to another, distant, point. From the point of view of an outside observer, this would let you travel much faster than the speed of light - and therefore, it would also be possible to travel backwards in time.
How is time travel possible with a speed more than velocity of light?
It probably ISN'T possible, since nobody has managed to travel faster than the speed of light. However, if you travel faster than the speed of light, that is equivalent to travel to the past. That is, if from one point of view you get (for example) from here to the star Toliman in a single year (light takes about 4 years), then from another point of view you'll have traveled back in time. This would let you travel back in time first from one point of view, then back in time from another point of view; as a result, you could come back to Earth (for example), in the past. For more details, check the Wikipedia article or other sources on "Simultaneity", specifically the sections on the the Special Theory of Relativity. The Wikipedia article would be "Relativity of Simultaneity".
When waves travel from one point to another what is transferred through the medium?
When waves travel from one point to another energy is transferred through the medium. Waves are periodic vibrations or oscillations in a medium that propagate through the medium carrying energy in the form of the movement. Exceptions to this are light and gravity waves, which do not require a medium for propagation.
What time is a email from England to Singapore?
An email can travel from one point on the globe to another in a matter of seconds.

Hi how are you doing today;)
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 far does light travel one hour miles?
How far does light travel in one hour
Can energy travel from one place to another?
well it depens on what kind of energy. if your talking about electricity it can travel in faster than the speed of light. if you were to transport electricity it will be stored in a battery or some thing larger. OH and yes enery can travel from one place to another.
What does when light travels from one medium to another' mean Im not completetly sure on the word MEDIUM in this context?
From 1 medium to the other means that light would travel from one object to another. So, it is basically any object that the light passes through.
