Answer:

Light travels in a straight line.

Explanation:

The rectilinear propagation of light means that light travels in straight lines as a wave. This can be observed in the well-defined shadows formed when an object blocks a light source and through the use of a pinhole camera.

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.
