In the absence of external forces, there's nothing to cause it to bend.

How does light travel in straight lines and in waves?
Yes..according to rectillinear propagation of light must travell in straight line...it also travells in the form of wave
Does light travels in straight line?
Yes because, Light travels in a straight path called a light ray.
Why does light run in straight line?
Because a straight line is the shortest path it can follow between two points. However a locally straight line may not be a globally straight line. This is how a gravitational field bends the path of light according to General Relativity.
How light travels from a flashlight?
In a straight line. At the speed of light.
Give an experiment to prove that light travels in a straight line?
Actually, it has been proved that light is bent by gravity, so it is impossible to prove that light travels in a straight line.

What is the straight line which light travels in a straight line called?
Trajectory
What kind of wave does light travel in?
I have the straight answer from the Internet and my science teacher that light travels in the motion of waves.
Does light travels in straight line?
Yes because, Light travels in a straight path called a light ray.

What kind of line does light travel through?
Straight line.
How can light passes through?
light passes in straight line
How light travels from a flashlight?
In a straight line. At the speed of light.
How time travell?
maybe if a person can run as fast of light
When does light travel in straight line?
no it does not
Why does light travel straight?
light travels in a straight line because it can only be bend by reflective objects.
Give an experiment to prove that light travels in a straight line?
Actually, it has been proved that light is bent by gravity, so it is impossible to prove that light travels in a straight line.
