Question

Huygen's principle suggests that

A:Wave fronts are composed of only single waves B:Wave fronts are composed of many smaller wave fronts
C:Wave fronts are always the same size

Answer 1

Should be B...

Answer 2

ok thank you hun :)

Answer 3

I am not really sure about it though.. you might want to check.

Answer 4

but were this is the only website i can use here at school..:(

Answer 12

Hello, please don't tag moderators (they don't like it.)
I am the Ambassador for this section and can answer your question.

Huyugen's Principle states:
The principle that any point on a wave front of light may be regarded as the source of secondary waves and that the surface that is tangent to the secondary waves can be used to determine the future position of the wave front."

Which means, wavelengths are composed of two parallel waves that have smaller sub-waves which propagate between.

The answer is B. I am positive. No worries.

Answer 13

Sam doesnt mind it, do you @.Sam. ? I've been asking a lot of physics questions from him.. Some mods may not like it, but its okay until the mod himself says that.

Answer 14

TRUE
