Identify the correct statements among the following.
(A) The wavefront for a point source of light is in a spherical shape, rays are all radial from the point source,
(B) All the points on a cylindrical wavefront vibrate in the same phase,
(C) A set of straight lines perpendicular to a wavefront are called rays of light. Light energy does not flow along these lines.
(D) Every point of a given wavefront acts as a fresh source of a secondary wavelet

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) (A) , (B) and (D) only
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(A) , (B) and (D) only. (A) Correct: For a point source, the disturbance spreads out uniformly in all directions, creating a spherical wavefront. The rays, which indicate the direction of propagation, are radial lines originating from that point. (B) Correct: By definition, a…

The accumulation of molecular species at the surface rather than in the bulk of a solid or liquid is termed as adsorption. There are two types of adsorption. In physisorption, attractive forces are mainly Van der Waals while in chemical adsorption adsorbate is held with chemical bonds adsorbent. Adsorption increases with increase in pressure and decreases as temperature is increased.
