IIT JEE AIEEE Wave Optics Study Material
Huygens’ Wave Theory of Light
(i) Each point on a wave front acts as a source of a new disturbance and therefore emits its own set of spherical waves which are called secondary wavelets. The secondary wavelets travel in all directions with the velocity of light as long as they move in the same medium.
(ii) The locus or the envelope of these wavelets in the forward direction indicates the position of new wave front at any subsequent time.
A wave front can be defined as the surface on which the wave disturbance is in phase.
The important topics covered under wave optics include wave interference; Young’s double slit experiment, diffraction, interference and polarization of light.
IIT JEE and AIEEE require study material best suited for Wave Optics for a focused preparation and askiitians study material exposes students to specific precise content study material of Physics in the IIT JEE and AIEEE like entrance exams in topics related to Wave Optics. IIT JEE solutions to various questions from past year papers under Wave Optics category are also provided enabling them to perform to the best abilities in all the entrance exams like AIEEE, IIT JEE etc.
