Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the question about the type of wavefront that emerges from a point source and a distant light source, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Wavefronts**: - A wavefront is defined as the surface over which an oscillation has a constant phase. In simpler terms, it is the shape that the wave takes as it propagates through space. 2. **Wavefront from a Point Source**: ...
