Answer:
Electromagnetic waves 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 homogeneous medium, which has the same refractive index throughout.

Rectilinear propagation of light refers to the tendency of light to travel along a straight line without any interference in its trajectory (course). When light travels through a medium, say air or water, it follows a straight line. However, the path only changes in case there is a shift in the medium.
