Answer:

Because light always travels in straight line.

Step-by-step explanation:

The fact that light travels can be demonstrated by putting an object in its path. If the object is opaque the result is a degree of blackness on the other side of it which is due to the absence of the light. ... As light does appear to travel in straight lines then light is usually modelled as straight lines in drawings.

Hope this helps :)
