MCQ
The shape of wave front at a very large distance from source is ______.
  • A
    Circular
  • B
    Spherical
  • C
    Cylindrical
  • D
    Plane

Answer

  1. Plane

Explanation:

Due to the large distance, the radius of the wavefront can be considered as large (infinity) and hence, a wavefront is almost plane.
