NEET Physics Huygens Principle Match the Following Question
Type: Match the Following-match the column-Easy-Class 12
Match Column-I with Column-II.
| Column-I | Column-II |
|---|---|
| (a) Wavefront definition | (i) Surface of constant phase |
| (b) Secondary wavelets | (ii) Spheres drawn from point sources |
| (c) New wavefront formation | (iii) Tangent to wavefront |
| (d) Amplitude direction | (iv) Maximum forward direction |
A
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
B
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
C
a-iv, b-iii, c-i, d-ii
D
a-iii, b-iv, c-ii, d-i
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
A wavefront is defined as a surface of constant phase, and secondary wavelets are the spheres drawn from point sources. The new wavefront is formed by drawing a tangent to these wavelets, and the amplitude of the wavelets is maximum in the forward direction, as per Huygens' Principle.
