Calcite, the most common form of natural calcium carbonate (CaCO3), a widely distributed mineral known for the beautiful development and great variety of its crystals.
A wavefront is a surface over which an optical wave has a constant phase. For example, a wavefront could be the surface over which the wave has a maximum (the crest of a water wave, for example) or a minimum (the trough of the same wave) value. The shape of a wavefront is usually determined by the geometry of the source.
2. What is meant by the term wavefront? A. the distance between successive peaks of a wave B. the distance between the trough and the peak of a wave C. a line joining points along the peak of a wave D. a line joining the trough and the peak of a wave GeneralWaveProperties 24 25. 3.
