Wavefronts

Assertion : Wavefronts obtained from light emitted by a point source in an isotropic medium are always spherical. Reason : Speed of light in isotropic medium is constant.

Fig. shows a surface XY separating two transparent media, medium 1 and medium 2. Lines ab and cd represent wavefronts of a light wave travelling in medium 1 and incident on XY. Line ef and gh represent wavefront of the light wave in medium 2 after rafraciton. Light travel as a

The figure shows a surface XY separating two transparent media, medium-1 and medium-2. The lines ab and cd represent wavefronts of a light wave traveling in medium-1 and incident on XY. The lines ef and gh represent wavefronts of the light wave in medium-2 after refraction. Speed of light is

The wavefronts of a light wave travellilng in vacuum are given by x+y+z=c . The angle made by the direction of propagation of light with the X-axis is

What is meant by the 'angle of incidence' and the 'angle of refraction' for a ray of light? Draw a labelled ray diagram to show the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction for a refracted ray of light.
