Who proposed the light consisted of particles that travel in straight lines through space?
Isaac Newton proposed that light consisted of particles that travel in straight lines through space.
Why do light rays travel in straight lines?
Light rays travel in straight lines due to the principle of the shortest path, known as Fermat's principle. Light travels along the path that minimizes the time it takes to travel from one point to another. This results in light rays following straight lines in a uniform medium.
Why are light waves are able to travel through vacuum?
Light "waves" are able to travel through a vacuum because light is only halfway "wavy". Light is actually a collection of particles, known as photons. Photons, because they are particles, are able to travel through a vacuum; unlike waves, they don't need a medium to travel from place to place. If you're interested in what I mean by "halfway wavy" look up the quantum particle-wave duality nature of light on Wikipedia.
What is it called when light waves that travel in straight lines?
The phenomenon where light waves travel in straight lines is called rectilinear propagation. This means that light travels in a straight path unless it encounters a medium that causes it to change direction.
Why do you think gamma rays are drawn as wavy lines?
Gamma rays are often represented as wavy lines in diagrams to denote their high energy and frequency. The wavy lines symbolize the oscillation or vibration of electromagnetic waves associated with gamma rays. This visual representation helps to differentiate gamma rays from other types of radiation.
Can you bend light?
Yes, but only with the help of mirrors otherwise light would be bknown to travel in wavy lines!
What do the wavy lines in math mean?
One wavy line (~) represents similarity. Two wavy lines (≈) means "approximately." THree wavy lines (≋) would most likely mean approximately identical to.
Why does light travel further along power lines?
Light does not travel further along power lines. What phenomenon are you describing?
How can the arrival and progress of an eathquake be recognized on a seismogram?
by wavy lines of characteristic shapes
What is the meaning of wavy lines?
a series of curve lines
Light travels in what type of lines?
Lines of least travel time.
Why can you see light first?
because ,light travel in stright lines.
Do light rays travel in straight lines?
Theoretically they doNot theoretically, they do travel in waves.See my answer here:Do_light_waves_travel_in_straight_paths_called_rays
Does light always travel in straight lines?
yes
What are blue wavy lines on maps?
Water
How do you use the word wavy in a sentence?
The wind's movement of the wavy lines in the sand were fascinating to watch.
What does the symbol of two parallel wavy lines mean?
The two wavy lines symbolizes that the shapes are congruent. This means that they are the same size as each other.
