Wavefront is:
1. locus of all adjacent points at which the phase of vibration of a physical quantity associated with the wave in the same
2. locus of all adjacent points at which the electric field is the same
3. series of points on the wave with the same amplitude
4. series of points on the wave with the same frequency
Huygens' wave theory allows us to know the:
1. | wavelength of the wave. |
2. | velocity of the wave. |
3. | amplitude of the wave. |
4. | propagation of the wavefront. |

In Young's double-slit experiment, an electron beam is used to obtain an interference pattern. If the speed of electrons is increased:
1. | No interference pattern will be observed. |
2. | Distance between two consecutive fringes remains the same. |
3. | Distance between two consecutive fringes will decrease. |
4. | Distance between two consecutive fringes will increase. |
Huygen's principle for secondary wavelets may be used to:
