Which property of light is known as rectilinear propagation of light?
- A. Light does not need a material medium to trave
- B. Light does not change the property of media through which it travels
- C. Light always travels in a straight line
- D. All of the above
Step-by-step solution
Rectilinear propagation of light refers to the property that light travels in straight lines in a homogeneous medium, which is the basis of geometric optics.
