When wavefronts pass from denser medium to rarer medium, the width of the wavefront
- A increases.
- B may increase or decrease.
- C decreases.
- D remains unchanged.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) increases.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
- As the wavefronts move from the denser medium to the rarer medium, the distance between successive wavefronts increases.
- Therefore, the width of the wavefronts increases when transitioning from a denser medium to a rarer medium.
- The correct answer to the question is that the width of the wavefront increases when wavefronts pass from a denser medium to a rarer medium.
- Therefore, the width of the wavefronts increases when transitioning from a denser medium to a rarer medium.
- The correct answer to the question is that the width of the wavefront increases when wavefronts pass from a denser medium to a rarer medium.
