Light travels in straight lines. However, 'straight' ain't what it used to be. Our current understanding of the universe suggests that mass causes a localized distortion in space time, effectively curving space around itself. As a beam of light approaches a massive object, it can be affected in this way as it passes through the curved space. From outsie, it appears to travel in a curved path, but as far as the light is concerned, it's moving in a straight line -- it's just that the straight line exists in a curved reality, if you follow me.
What else can I help you with?
DOES LIGHT TRAVEL IN CURVED LINE?
Light travels in straight lines. The only way to curve light is to obtain inside something that holds in the the light. For example, a plastic curved tube will carry light.
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.
Can light travel in wavy lines?
Light can travel in wavy lines, as it behaves like a wave with characteristics such as interference and diffraction. This wavelike nature allows light to exhibit phenomena such as reflection, refraction, and dispersion.
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 can you see light first?
because ,light travel in stright lines.
DOES LIGHT TRAVEL IN CURVED LINE?
Light travels in straight lines. The only way to curve light is to obtain inside something that holds in the the light. For example, a plastic curved tube will carry light.
Why does light travel further along power lines?
Light does not travel further along power lines. What phenomenon are you describing?
What are the curved lines?
Lines that is curved. E.G the outline of a circle.
Light travels in what type of lines?
Lines of least travel time.
What does the indicator light that looks like a car trailing two curved lines mean on an Audi A4?
Traction control light.
A instrument used to construct stright lines?
A straight edge perhaps?
Does light always travel in straight lines?
yes
Kinds of line?
VERTICAL LINES-lines that are at right angle and or perpendicular to a plane. HORIZONTAL LINES-lines that are parallel to the horizon. ANGULAR LINES-lines that have sharp edges. They can be long or short. CURVE LINES-lines that are without angles. SLANTING OR DIAGONAL-lines that suggest action or movement. JAGGED LINES-lines that are harsh and unpleasant.
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.
What is an example of a zero slope?
a stright line going acrossed the graph lines. :)
Can light waves always travel in staight lines?
You mean "can light waves travel in nonstraight lines?"? Yes, if they are diffracted or pass through different materials. Gravity can also affect light waves and curve them.
