Question
which statement best describes how light waves travel in a uniform medium?
in bent lines
in shrinking ripples
in extending circles
in straight lines
Brief Explanations
Light travels in straight lines (rectilinear propagation) when moving through a uniform, homogeneous medium. Bent lines occur during refraction/ reflection in non-uniform media, ripples/circles describe wavefront expansion but not the direction of travel in a uniform medium.
