Question

Wavefront is ______.

Options

• series of points on the wave with same amplitude

• series of points on the wave with same frequency

• locus of all adjacent points at which the electric field is the same

• locus of all adjacent points at which the phase of oscillation is the same

Answer 1

Wavefront is locus of all adjacent points at which the phase of oscillation is the same.

Explanation:

A wavefront is a collection of points that oscillate in phase. As a result, a wavefront is defined as a surface with a fixed phase. The speed of the wave is the rate at which the wavefront flows outwards from the source.
