Answer:

The rectilinear propagation of light means that light travels in straight lines as a wave. ... In a pinhole camera, the light rays reflecting from the bottom of the object travel in a straight line through the pinhole to the film.

I hope it will help you.

Explanation:

Rectilinear propagation describes the tendency of Electromagnetic waves (light) to travel in a straight line. Light only deviates from a straight line when the medium it is travelling through changes density. This is called refraction. Light does not deviate when travelling through a homogenous medium, which has the same refractive index throughout.

2.The speed of light in vacuum, commonly denoted c, is a universal physical constant important in many areas of physics. Its exact value is defined as 299792458 metres per second. Wikipedia

Astronomical units per day: 173

Miles per second: 186000

Metres per second: 299792458

Miles per hour: 671000000

Kilometres per hour: 1080000000

Parsecs per year: 0.307

From Sun to Earth (1 AU): 8.3 min
