True or False? Light travels in straight lines??
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Light travels in straight lines because it is a form of electromagnetic radiation that propagates through space as waves. These waves move in a straight line until they encounter an obstacle or are refracted or reflected by a medium. This behavior is explained by the principle of rectilinear propagation of light, which states that light travels in straight lines unless it interacts with another object or medium.
