Light actually travels in waves.This is known to be true because there are only 3 ways that energy can be transferred. As you probably already know, light does not need a medium to travel through because it travels through space. Electromagnetic waves are the only form of energy transfer that do not require a medium to travel through.

Is a shadow proof that light travels in a straight line?

Yes, a shadow is proof that light travels in a straight line because shadows are formed when an object blocks light that is traveling in a straight path from the source to the surface where the shadow is cast. If light did not travel in a straight line, shadows would not form as they do.
