A) the wavelength of the wave
B) the velocity of the wave
C) the amplitude of the wave
D) the propagation of wave fronts
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
Huygen proposed an hypothesis to explain the propagation of waves in a medium called Huygen's principle of secondary wavelets. For this he stated that the surface in the medium in which all particles are in the same phase of oscillation is called the wave front. Every particle of the medium situated on wave front becomes a new wave source from which new waves spread in all directions. The envelope of these advancing wavelets drawn at any instant give the new wave front at that instant.
