In Huygens's construction,all points on a wave front:
A)act as point sources for the production of secondary spherical waves.
B)act as particles.
C)demonstrate the dual nature of light.
D)must be sources of plane waves.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Huygens's construction, every point on a wave front acts as a point source of secondary spherical waves. These spherical waves combine to form the new wave front at a later time. Therefore, option A is the correct choice. B and D are incorrect choices as they do not relate to Huygens's construction, and C is not entirely accurate as Huygens's construction does not specifically address the dual nature of light.
