Concept explainers
Whether the Huygens’s principle is applicable for sound wavesand water waves or not.
Answer to Problem 1Q
Yes
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:Huygens’s principle states that each point along a wave can be the source for the subsequent (or following) spherical waves.
The Huygens's principle is applicable for all types of waves (water, sound, and light waves).The sound waves as well as water waves can be represented by Huygens's principle.
Conclusion:The Huygens’ principle explains the propagation of wave.
