WEBHUYGENS PRINCIPLE. Huygen’s principle states that, every point on a given wave front may be considered as a source of secondary wavelets which spread out with the speed of light in that medium and. the new wavefront is the forward envelope of the secondary wavelets at that instant.
WEBA wave front is the locus of points having the same phase of oscillation. Rays are the lines perpendicular to the wavefront, which show the direction of propagation of energy.

WEBMar 12, 2024 · The answers to all of these questions have to do with the subject of wave optics. So far this book has discussed the interaction of light waves with matter, and its practical applications to optical devices like mirrors, but we have used the ray model of light almost exclusively.
WEBWAVE OPTICS. 1. Wave Theory of Light. (by Huygens, Fresnel, Young, etc...) In geometric optics we learnt light is a stream of straight-going particles (Newton proposed that first) Then we learnt light is a form of EM wave.
