    According to Huygens wave theory, point on any wavefront may be regarded as :

    A)  a photon

    B)  an electron

    C)  a new source of wave

    D)  neutron

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    In 1678, Huygen proposed the wave theory of light. According to Huygen light travels in the form of waves, when waves spread out from a source in a medium, the medium particles are set in oscillation. Every particle of the medium situated on the wave front becomes a new wave source from which new waves spread in all directions. These waves are called secondary wavelets which advance in the medium with speed of original wave.
