alext87 Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 Huygen's wavelets considers every point on a wavefront as a secondary wave emitting source which therefore creates a new wavefront which has propagated away from source. However, there is something wrong, if every point on a wavefront is a secondary wave emitting source why does the new wavefront go backwards (towards the initial emitting source)? Does anybody have a explanation?
