  • question_answer
    A wave front is represented by the plane\[y=3-x\]The propagation of wave takes place at

    A) \[45{}^\circ \] with x-direction

    B) \[135{}^\circ \] with x-direction

    C) \[60{}^\circ \] with x-direction

    D)  No sufficient data

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The propagation of ray takes place in perpendicular direction of wavefront. Here,   \[{{m}_{1}}{{m}_{2}}=-1\] \[{{m}_{1}}=\]slope of wave front\[=-1\] \[{{m}_{2}}=\]slope of ray \[(-1){{m}_{2}}=-1\Rightarrow {{m}_{2}}=1\] \[\tan \theta =1\Rightarrow \theta ={{45}^{o}}\]
