Question:
Difference between wavefront and wavelets.
Answer:
|
Wave front |
Wavelets |
|
A wave front is defined as a surface of constant phase of waves. |
A wavelet is a wave-like oscillation with amplitude which starts at zero, increases, and then decreases back to zero. |
|
if a stone is dropped in a pool of water, the waves spread out in circular rings from the point of impact. All points on such a circle are oscillating in phase. |
It can typically be visualized as an oscillation like one might see recorded by a seismograph or heart monitor. |
