Explanation:
One of light's characteristic properties is that, in a transparent medium like air, glass, or still water, it travels in a straight line. ... Only when light rays move from one medium to another, such as from air to water, are their linear paths altered.

Yes, light does travel in a straight line when it travels from one medium to another.
A way to prove it:
When you shine a torch in the dark, light appears to go straight outwards. This shows that light indeed does travel in a straight line.
