The statement "Light travels in a straight line path while passing through different media" is False.

Explanation: Light typically travels in a straight line when it moves through a single medium, like air. However, when light passes from one medium to another (e.g., from air into water or glass), it undergoes a phenomenon called refraction. Refraction causes the light to change direction at the interface between the two media. This bending of light occurs because the speed of light changes when it enters a medium with a different optical density.

Thus, the path of light is not always straight when transitioning between different media. Therefore, the correct answer is:

B. False
