What is huygens principle?
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 5 years, 2 months ago

  • Huygens principle states that each point of a wavefront is the source of secondary wavelets (small waves) which spread in all directions with the speed of the wave.
  • The new wavefront is formed by drawing a line tangent to all the wavelets.

For example:-

  • If a stone is thrown in the river,waves will be formed surrounding that point.
  • These waves look like concentric circles and they are known aswavefronts.
  • The wavefronts gradually spread in all the directions.
