I think the the use of the word "seek" is incorrect with respect to 
electromagnetic wave propogation. The radiation does not seek anything. 
It only travels in a straight line through media of constant index of 
refraction, travels in bent or curved paths though media of changing 
idecies of refraction, or is absorbed and sometimes reradiated. It does 
do any seeking at all.
