Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsC
Spherical wavefront is produced by a
(III) Point source at finite distance.
Plane wavefront is formed when observing light from a
(IV) Point source at infinite distance, as its curvature becomes negligible at infinite distances.
Cylindrical wavefront is generated by a
(II) Line source.
Huygen's principle is used to determine the
(I) Location of new wavefront by considering every point on a wavefront as a source of secondary wavelets.
