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.
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.
Why can you not see round corners?
All electromagnetic radiation from VHF and higher frequencies (including visible light) travels only in straight lines. However these frequencies will reflect off certain surfaces, one surface that visible light reflects off is a mirror, which if properly arranged can be used to see around corners.
Two accepted theories on how light travels?
Wave theory: Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that travels in waves. Particle theory: Light consists of particles called photons that travel in straight lines.
Does light always travel in straight lines?
yes
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.
Materials through which light can travel in straight lines are?
Transparent

Why is light called a ray?
light is called a ray because light travels in straight lines
What helps to show light rays travel in straight lines?
To remember this think of you are looking directly at a building a car crash happens behind this building. You know this from the sound produced that can travel in all directions past the building. You cannot see it because as light dose not bend under normal circumstances and will only travel in straight lines. Even if reflected using a combination of mirrors it still travels in straight lines.

What is it called when a group of rays are travelling in straight lines?
Beam of light

Does color travel in waves?
No it doesn't. Sound travels in waves, but light tavels in straight lines.
What do you call the straight path that light travels?
light travels in straight paths called rays
