A monochromatic light wave is travelling in vacuum along the direction \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(\hat{i}+\hat{j})\).
The wavefront of the light wave is represented by:

  1. A \(x=\) constant
  2. B \(z=\) constant
  3. C \(x+y+3=\) constant
  4. D \(x+y=\) constant
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(x+y=\) constant

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The direction of propagation is along \((\hat{i}+\hat{j})\). The wavefront is a surface perpendicular to the direction of propagation. Thus, the wavefront is represented by \(x+y=\) constant.
