    A wavefront is represented by the plane y = 3 - x. The propagation of wave takes place at

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

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

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

    D)  no sufficient data

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

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