What direction does light travel in straight direction or wonky direction?

NORTHAmended answerLight travels in straight lines.


Is polarization a property of light waves but not sound waves?

That is correct. Polarization is possible only when the direction of vibration is perpendicular to the direction of the wave travel, such is in light. In sound waves, the direction of vibration (compression) is the same direction as the direction of the travel of the sound wave, and therefore polarization is not possible.


How many different directions can a single ray of light travel in?

A ray of light can travel in any direction, so an infinite number.


What is associated with weak light rays that travel in different direction?

scattering


Do light travel to a single direction only?

The light from our sun radiates out in all direction as the sun is ball-shaped. The part of light that strikes the earth, forming daylight, is spread over a wide area of the earth that happens to be facing towards the sun at the time. This means that light doesn't travel in a single direction. A laser beam is an example of a concentrated beam of light travelling in a single direction.


What happens when light waves get reflected?

The light waves bounce off the surface and travel in a new direction


What is it called when light waves traveling in one direction are made to travel in many different directions?

Light travels in the direction it was emitted. Light cannot steer itself towards any particular object.


Can infra red photon hit to chang direction of light?

An infrared photon hit will probably not change the direction of light. Light itself is made out of photons and typically does not travel in straight lines, except when used in lasers.


Do laser beams only travel in one direction?

yes. laser beams are just like light.


What direction do water molecules travel when they are heated?

up because when heated, it becomes light and goes up.


When light enters a medium with a different refractive index they change speed or direction?

yes , if the light travel from less density to more density the speed will decrease , the direction will change depend on the entered angle


What direction does light travel?

Light travels coincentrically in a sphere from it's source (2-pi steradians solid angle.) That is why light from a candle will shine in all directions.
