What do you mean by the Rectilinear Propagation of Light?
Answers
Usually light travels in a straight line. When we want to represent the propagation of light with a diagram, we represent it with the help of rays and beams.
Ray→ A ray is a line with an arrow that shows the direction of propagation of light, and such a diagram is called a ray diagram.
Beam→ A group of light rays moving in an organized manner is called a beam of light.
The property of light to travel in straight lines explains many interesting phenomena related to light, like formation of shadows by opaque objects and formation of images in a pin-hole camera.
Generally, light travels in a straight line in a uniform transparent medium or in vacuum. This mode of propagation of light is called rectilinear propagation.
