Two plane wavefronts of light, one incident on a thin convex lens and another on the refracting face of a thin prism. After refraction at them, the emerging wavefronts respectively become (1) Plane wavefront and plane wave front (2) Plane wavefront and spherical wavefront (3) Spherical wavefront and plane wavefront (4) Elliptical wavefront and spherical wavefront

Answer: (3) As the waves reach the lens, the center of the wave first meets the glass and this part of the wave first slows down since light... View Article
