Wavefront and Lenses – Rankers Physics

Huygen's Principal: Practice Problem & Solution

If a plane wave front is incident on a convex lens then the emerging wavefront will be
Plane
Spherical
Parabolic
Hyperbolic

Short Solution (Best for NEET):

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Huygen's Principal. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

A convex lens focuses parallel rays (plane wavefront) to a single point, meaning the emerging wavefront converges as a spherical wavefront.
