NEET Physics Huygens Principle Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
| Column-I | Column-II |
|---|---|
| (a) Wavefront | (i) Surface of constant phase |
| (b) Secondary wavelets | (ii) Spheres drawn from points on wavefront |
| (c) Huygens' assumption | (iii) Amplitude maximum in forward direction |
| (d) Speed of wave | (iv) Distance traveled over time |
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
a-iv, b-iii, c-i, d-ii
a-iii, b-iv, c-ii, d-i
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
A wavefront is defined as a surface of constant phase (i). Secondary wavelets are created from points on the wavefront, represented as spheres drawn from these points (ii). Huygens' assumption states that the amplitude of secondary wavelets is maximum in the forward direction (iii). The speed of the wave is the distance traveled over time (iv).
