The above statement is True.
Light travels in a straight line in a uniform and transparent medium; this is known as rectilinear propagation of light. Rectilinear denotes a straight line, and propagation denotes an action or spreading process. Consequently, the phrase "rectilinear propagation of light" refers to the straight-line motion of light.
