What do you mean by "Rectilinear Propagation" of Light?
- A. Light travels in a straight line
- B. Light travels in a curved path
- C. Light exhibits dual nature of particle and wave
- D. Light gets deviated when it moves in another medium
Step-by-step solution
Rectilinear propagation refers to the property of light that it travels in straight lines in a uniform medium. This is evident in phenomena like shadows and the formation of images in pinhole cameras.
