- Wavefront: The locus of all particles in a medium, vibrating in the same phase is called waveFront.
- The direction of propagation of light (ray of light) is perpendicular to the waveFront.
- Every point on the given wavefront acts as a source of a new disturbance called secondary wavelets which travel in all directions with the velocity of light in the medium.
- A surface touching these secondary wavelets tangentially in the forward direction at any instant gives the new wavefront at that instant. This is called a secondary wavefront.
EXPLANATION:
- Huygens suggested that light may be a wave phenomenon produced by mechanical vibrations of an all-pervading homogeneous medium called ether just like those in solids and liquids. So each particle at a wavefront behaves as a new light source. So option 3 is correct.
