Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A light wave front is striking a boundary between air and water at a specific angle. Using Huygens' Principle, derive the new wavefront shape and calculate how light bends in the new medium.
💡 Hint: Use the relationship between the angles in the two media.
Question 2
Illustrate a situation where Huygens' Principle explains the phenomenon of diffraction around a barrier. Apply your understanding to real-life scenarios.
💡 Hint: Focus on the effect of narrowing paths on wave propagation.
