New evidence in light of the crime! (Science)

Forensic Challenge
URGENT: New evidence has been unveiled by the CCTV company.

The suspect was seen drilling a hole in the external gymnasium wall then shining a torch into the gym. Unfortunately the hole was refilled and covered perfectly and so cannot be located, but three spots of light were noted internally: one high up near the windows, one part way up the wall, and the third on the floor. The Crime Lab needs to know if light travels in straight lines or curves and believes if it is the former that with this information and the measurements of the internal walls that they can narrow down the height of the suspect to within a few centimetres.

The suspects
(Today you will need to convert the suspects height from feet to cm to help you with your investigation)

Once you have undertaken your investigations let me know if any of the suspects are off our watch list!

    I enjoyed exploring light and which direction does light foe in with my group during this science lesson.
