Describe what you would see if light did not travel in a straight line?

Answer 1

You would look straight ahead of you and see people and other things that were standing

off to the side of you.

You would never know that anything was wrong. As a newborn infant, you would learn how

an object's appearance is related to its location, and in what direction to reach for it. That's

called "hand-eye coordination", and every living thing has to learn it after birth. You learned

it, and you use it now. That's why you reach in the wrong direction for an object at the bottom

of a tub of water. But you could just as easily have learned it the other way.

Answer 2

If light did not travel in a straight line, it would appear distorted or curved as it moved through space. Objects might look distorted and their shapes could be altered by the bending of light. The clarity of images and shadows would be affected, making it difficult to perceive objects accurately.
