Solution
A wavefront can be defined as an imaginary surface comprised of all points from traveling waves in the same state of oscillation. Depending on the source, a wwavefront can have different shapes.
Waves emerging from a point source will come out in all directions and hence the type of wavefront form will be a spherical wavefront
Hence, the type of wavefront from a point source will be a spherical wavefront.
