Which Of These Light Sources Will Have A Cylindrical Wave Fr...
Same is true for a spherical source. Assuming it radiates energy equally in all directions
Which Of These Light Sources Will Have A Cylindrical Wave Fr...
An infinite line source will radiate energy perpendicular to its surface in all direction. So the wave front will be…
Which Of These Light Sources Will Have A Cylindrical Wave Fr...
Yup......Right again.
Cylindrical.
Which Of These Light Sources Will Have A Cylindrical Wave Fr...
Plane source.
Which Of These Light Sources Will Have A Cylindrical Wave Fr...
Planar light source will have planar wave fronts.
So correct answer is infinite line source will have a cylindrical wave front.
