Spherical wavefronts, emanating from a point source, strike a plane reflecting surface. What will happen to these wave fronts, immediately after reflection?

A

They will remain spherical with the same curvature, both in magnitude and sign.

B

They will become plane wave fronts

C

They will remain spherical with the same curvature, both sign of curvature reversed.

D

They will remain spherical, but with different curvature, both in magnitude and sign.
