  • 2 answers

Yogita Ingle 6 years, 3 months ago

The property of light travelling in a straight line is called as the rectilinear propagation of light.
A light source can be seen only if there is a straight-line path between the source and our eyes.

Examples:

  1. Sunrays entering a dark room through a small opening appear to travel in a straight line.
  2. Light from torch, headlights of cars, etc. appears to travel in a straight line.
  3. Light from a projector travels in a straight line in the form of light rays towards the screen.
  4. Light emitted from a laser pointer appears to travel in a straight line.
