MCQ
The wavefront is a surface in which:
- ✓All points are in the same phase.
- BThere is a pair of points in opposite phase.
- CThere is a pair of points with phase difference $(\frac{\pi}{2})$.
- DThere is no relation between the phases.
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
All points are in the same phase.
A wavefront is the locus of points characterized by propagation of position of the same phase:
a propagation of a line in $1D$, a curve in $2D$ or a surface for a wave in $3D.$
