Dear student
wave front-a surface containing points affected in the same way by a wave at a given time.
The answer is ray is always normal to wave front

The sum of rays passing in a surface creates a wavefront. As the wavefront travel 'perpendicular' to each other. This indicate that the ray of light falling on the wavefront makes a right angle. Thus rays are indicated as 'parallel' to each other while the wavefronts are represented as perpendicular to each other.

. Because of the rotation of the earth, a plumb bob may not hang exactly along the direction of
the earth’s gravitational pull (its weight) but deviates slightly from this direction. Calculate the
deviation (a) at 40 latitude, (b) at the poles, and (c) at the equator

The length of a massless rod is measured using vernier callipers having 10 vernier scale divisions and least count of 0.1 mm. Two masses 1.00 ± 0.01 kg and 4.00 ± 0.02 kg are attached to its ends. If reading of vernier scale is 5 divisions coinciding with 1.3 cm, what is the % error in locating centre of mass from lighter mass
