What is it called when a straight line that represents a light wave?

A straight line that represents a light wave is called a ray. It is used to show the direction of light propagation in geometrical optics.


Why do light travels in straight line?

It does not, it travels as a wave


What does a straight line in a transverse wave repreasent?

A straight line in a transverse wave represents the equilibrium position of the medium (such as a string or spring) before it is disturbed by the wave. Thus, the position of particles in the medium when at rest is indicated by the straight line in the wave diagram.


How does light behave as it travels in a straight line?

Light behaves simultaneously as a wave and as a particle.


What travels in a straight line and travels the fastest?

Light the electromagnetic wave.


What kind of wave does light travel in?

I have the straight answer from the Internet and my science teacher that light travels in the motion of waves.


What kind of light travels in a straight line?

Visible light travels in a straight line unless it encounters obstacles or mediums that cause it to bend or scatter.


Does light travels in straight line?

Light typically travels in a straight line, as described by the principle of rectilinear propagation. However, it can be affected by gravitational fields or optical illusions that may make it appear otherwise.


How does light travel in straight line?

It does not. It is a particle that acts like a wave


Why does light bend straight?

Light typically travels in a straight line, a phenomenon known as rectilinear propagation. This is due to light's wave-like behavior where it travels in a straight line until it encounters a medium with a different optical density, causing it to bend or change direction. This bending of light is described by the laws of reflection and refraction.


If one of the waves represents infrared light and one wave represents visible light which wave represents visible light?

Without any other information, the one with a shorter wavelength/higher frequency will be visible light.


What does a light wave look like?

A light wave is an electromagnetic wave that travels in a straight line. It is not visible to the naked eye, but we can perceive it when it interacts with other objects. The properties of a light wave include wavelength, frequency, and amplitude, which determine its color and intensity.
