Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Huygens' construction, a principle of wave propagation, is not limited to a specific type of wave or medium. It can be applied to light, electromagnetic waves, and transverse waves, and does not require one of the media to be a vacuum or air. It is a general method used to describe how wavefronts move and can be applied to various wave phenomena.
