If light scatters when propagating through (example) water then why does it appear to travel in straight lines.
Yes, i know pencils appear broken but the overall impression is of straight line focused light propagation, and that does not make sense to me from a 'scattering' point of view.
If light does not scatter, then what slows it down?
If it is due to absorption and emission, then why is the emission in the same direction as the absorption?
