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.


Does color travel in waves?

No it doesn't. Sound travels in waves, but light tavels in straight lines.


What kind of path does light waves travel?

Light waves travel in straight lines unless they encounter a medium density change or are reflected or refracted by a surface. This results in bending or scattering of the light waves along their path.


Do earthquake P-waves travel in straight lines?

Earthquake P-waves don't travel in straight lines, they travel in like a circle after the earthquake has struck. These P-waves arrive first during an earthquake.


Does light travel through electromagnetic waves?

Yes, light is made up of electromagnetic waves. These waves travel in straight lines and do not require a medium for propagation. They can travel through a vacuum as well as through some materials, such as air and glass.


How do light rays travel light ray?

Light rays travel in straight lines called rays or beams. They propagate by transferring energy and momentum through particles or fields, such as photons in a vacuum or electromagnetic waves in a medium. Light rays can be reflected, refracted, or absorbed when interacting with different materials.


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.


What paths do light waves travel in?

Light waves travel in Straight Lines, but when a light beam passes close to a massive object, then the light beam will be deflected by the Gravity Well of that body. Otherwise known as the Curvature of Space-Time.

What are two ways energy can travel?

Energy can travel as electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves, which do not require a medium to propagate. It can also travel through mechanical waves, such as sound and seismic waves, which require a medium like air or water to transfer energy.


What does light travel as?

Light travels in straight lines. Light goes very very fast. About 300,000 km per second. Ima chargin' muh lazers. It travels as electromagnetic waves.


How come light travels in straight lines but radio waves spread out?

Light behaves like a particle and travels in straight lines due to its higher frequency and shorter wavelength. Radio waves, being lower in frequency and longer in wavelength, can diffract and spread out, leading to their ability to cover larger distances and penetrate obstacles like buildings.
