Paragraph for Question Nos. 16 and 17
Huygen was the first scientist who proposed the idea of wave theory of light. He said that the light propagates in
form of wavefronts. A wavefront is an imaginary surface at every point of which waves are in the same phase. For
example the wavefronts for a point source of light is collection of concentric spheres which have centre at the origin,
w1 is a wavefront, w2 is another wavefront

Spotlight_Advanced_Day-10_In-Class Assignment Physics

The radius of the wavefront at time ‘t’ is 'ct' in this case where 'c' is the speed of light The direction of propagation
of light is perpendicular to the surface of the wavefront. The wavefronts are plane wavefronts in case of a parallel
beam of light.

Huygen also said that every point of the wavefront acts as the source of secondary wavelets. The tangent drawn to
all secondary wavelets at a time is the new wavefront at that time, The wavelets are to be considered only in the
forward direction i.e the direction of propagation of light) and not in the reverse direction. If a wavefront w 1 at time t

is given, then to draw the wavefront at time t +  t take some points on the wavefront w1 and draw spheres of radius

ct. They are called secondary wavelets. Draw surface w 2 which is tangential to all these wavelets. w2 is the

wavefront at time ‘t + t'.

Huygen proved the laws of reflection and laws of refractive ion using concept of wavefronts
