प्रश्न
Define the term 'wavefront of light'. A plane wavefront AB propagating from a denser medium (1) into a rarer medium (2) is incident of the surface P1P2 separating the two media as shown in fig.
Using Huygen's principle, draw the secondary wavelets and obtain the refracted wavefront in the diagram.
उत्तर
It is defined as the locus of all the particles of a medium vibrating in the same phase at a given instant of time.
