With an infinite number of waves travelling together from a light source
Wave front - parallel surface connecting similaror equivalent points on adjacent waves.

In isotropic materials the Wave Normal and Light Ray are parallel. In anisotropic minerals the Wave Normal and Light Ray are not parallel.
