No. It is proven that masses cause slight deviation in the path of light. The larger the mass, the more obvious the deviation.

What kind of wave does light travel in?

I have the straight answer from the Internet and my science teacher that light travels in the motion of waves.


When light photons are considered to be particles what kind of path do they usually travel?

As particles photons travel in a straight line unless they are diverted by reflection, refraction, or a magnetic or gravitational field. Note that when it comes to gravity it can also be represented that the light continues in a straight line - but the space it travels through is curved so its path appears curved to the outside observer.


Why does light travel in straight lines give with evidence?

Yes there is. Your shadow is the simplest evidence that light travels in straight line. A solar eclipse is also evidence that light travels in straight lines, as is the fact that you cannot see around corners unless you use a mirror.


Do high pitched sounds travel in a straight line?

High pitched sounds, like all other sounds, travel in all directions in waves from their source. The direction they travel in can be affected by obstacles, reflections, and other factors, but they do not travel in a perfectly straight line.


Does light travel in a straight line?

So it’s kind of a complicated process, but here’s the two-sentence version: Lightning is an electric current that takes the path of least resistance from the base of a cloud to the ground. Since the air it travels through is not uniform—variations in things like temperature, humidity, and pollutants determine how resistant air is to the charge—the lightning has to zig and zag to stay on that path.
