Wavefronts
Light also shows the wave nature. According to Huygens, each point source of light is a center of disturbance from which waves spread in all directions.
Wave front-
- The locus of all particles in a medium, vibrating in the same phase is called WaveFront (WF).
- The direction of propagation of light is perpendicular to the WF.
- The time taken by the light to travel from one wavefront to another is the same along any ray.
- The phase difference between various particles on the wavefront is zero.
- Various type of wavefront-
- Spherical WF- For a point source
- Cylindrical WF- For line source
- Plane WF- For parallel light rays
