Question
in which type of medium would light waves travel in a straight line?
○ a medium that is uneven
○ a medium that is uniform
○ a medium that is varied
○ a medium composed of different densities
Brief Explanations
Light travels in straight lines (rectilinear propagation) when it moves through a medium with consistent properties, as changes in density or uniformity cause refraction/bending. Uneven, varied, or multi-density media alter light's path.
