Light travels coincentrically in a sphere from it's source (2-pi steradians solid angle.) That is why light from a candle will shine in all directions.

Because they are light.
A car.
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.
Light travels in a straight line because it is an electromagnetic wave, which means it consists of oscillating electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to each other and to the direction of travel. The interactions between these fields cause light to propagate in a uniform direction.
When light waves traveling in one direction are made to travel in many different directions, it is called light scattering. This can occur when light interacts with particles or objects and is redirected in multiple directions.
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.
A ray of light can travel in any direction, so an infinite number.
It travels in straight lines, However light cannot pass through walls, such as sound.
No, a red light is an example of an electromagnetic wave, which is a transverse wave. It does not require a medium to propagate and oscillates perpendicular to the direction of its travel. Longitudinal waves, on the other hand, oscillate parallel to the direction of travel.
When light waves slow down as they travel from one medium to another, such as from air to glass, they do change direction. This change in direction is called refraction and occurs due to the change in speed of the light waves in the new medium.
An infrared photon hit will probably not change the direction of light. Light itself is made out of photons and typically does not travel in straight lines, except when used in lasers.
Light energy travels in the form of electromagnetic waves. These waves consist of electric and magnetic fields that oscillate perpendicular to each other and to the direction of travel.
Electromagnetic waves travel in a transverse direction, which means they propagate perpendicular to the oscillating electric and magnetic fields. This allows them to travel through space at the speed of light in a straight line.
An arrow can be used to show the direction of propagation of a light wave. The arrow points in the direction of travel of the wave, indicating how the wave is moving through space. It helps to visualize the path of the light wave and understand its movement.
