Wavefronts

Source: YouTube Understanding Wavefronts in Optics What are Wavefronts? Wavefronts are surfaces that connect points with the same phase of a monochromatic wave. They represent the spatial distribution of the wave’s phase at a given instant in time. In simpler terms, wavefronts show where the wave is at the same point in its cycle. Types
