What is the path that light travels if it does not hit an object or travel through a new medium?
Straight. Gravity bends light. It can act like a lens
Does light traveling in empty space always travel in straight lines?
Yes, light in a vacuum typically travels in straight lines in a phenomenon known as rectilinear propagation. This means that light will travel in a straight line unless it encounters a medium that can bend or scatter its path, such as a prism or particles in the atmosphere.
How are shadows formed give two reasons?
Shadows are formed when an object blocks the path of light rays, creating an area of darkness behind it. Two reasons shadows are formed are: (1) when light rays hit an opaque object and are unable to pass through it, and (2) when light rays are absorbed or reflected by an object, creating a shadow on the surface behind it.
What happens when light rays hit an opaque object?
When light rays hit an opaque object, they are absorbed or reflected. The object appears opaque because it reflects most of the light that hits it and absorbs very little. This is why we cannot see through opaque objects.
Do you see an object when light from your eyes hit that object?
No you see the object because the light refelects from the object into your eyes

When a light ray hits a mirror what rules does it follow?
When light hits a mirror, it either reflects onto another mirror, or bends and travels until it hit an opaque object.
Why does a tree in the path of sunlight create a shadow instead of the light spreading around the tree?
Light travels in straight lines and therefore some will hit the tree. Where this happens a shadow (absence of light) is created behind the tree.

What is the distance of the path a baseball travels during a home run hit?
The distance a baseball travels during a home run hit can vary, but it is typically between 350 to 450 feet.
What does light first hit?
It hits your optic nerve and then travels to YOUR MOM!!
How does light travel under sea?
Light travels under the sea through rays of sunshine that hit the water. Light only travels a few feet under the sea.

What causes a shadow?
Light travels in straight lines. A shadow is caused when light beams hit an object and bounce off, preventing the light beams from passing through and hitting the ground on the other side. So when you, for example stand in the sun and the suns rays hit you, the light reflects off you and goes the other way. so behind you no light falls from the direct rays of the sun, so it is dark. The area around your shadow is where the light is hitting and reflecting, so technically speaking there is shadow under them, which is why we associate the ground with being dark. no light.
