A wavefront is defined as a surface of constant phase. A wavefront is the locus of all points in the medium that have the same phase.
The ray, at each point of a wavefront, is normal to the wavefront at that point. The ray indicates the direction of propagation of wave while the wavefront is the surface of constant phase.
