- A primary wavefront are larger than those of secondary wavelets.
- B primary wavefronts are lesser than those of secondary wavelets.
- C primary wavefronts are greater than or equal to those of secondary wavelets.
- D primary wavefront and wavelets are equal:
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) primary wavefront and wavelets are equal:
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
According to Huygen's principle, in
homogeneous medium, velocity of primary wavefront is equal to velocity of secondary wavelets.
