NEET Physics Huygens Principle MCQ Question
Consider a diagram showing a wavefront refracting from medium 1 to medium 2, where a sphere of radius v2t is drawn from point A in medium 2, and CE is a tangent plane from point C on the sphere. Which of the following correctly identifies CE in the context of Huygens Principle?
CE is the refracted wavefront in medium 2.
CE represents the incident wavefront in medium 1.
CE is the normal to the wavefront at point A.
CE is the backward wavefront in medium 2.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
CE represents the refracted wavefront as it is drawn as a tangent plane from the point C on the sphere in medium 2, as per Huygens Principle.
