Question
light appears to travel in astright line, because
Options
A.its wavelength is very small
B.its velocity is large
C.it is not absorbed by surroundings
D.it is reflected by surroundings
Solution
Light appears to travel in a straight line because different (or deviation from the path)is least in light. Diffraction is least because of small wave length of light cause the light to t ravel almost in straight line.
