Huygen's Principle - Laws of reflection | video in HINDI | EduPoint

In this Physics video lecture in HINDI we explained how to prove second law of reflection, i.e., the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection, with the help of Huygens' principle on wave theory of light for class 12. The Huygens-Fresnel principle states that every point on a wavefront is a source of wavelets. These wavelets spread out in the forward direction, at the same speed as the source wave. The new wavefront is a line tangent to all of the wavelets. ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ ►About Christiaan Huygen Christiaan Huygens was a Dutch scientist who developed a useful technique for determining how and where waves propagate. In 1678, he proposed that every point that a luminous disturbance touches becomes itself a source of a spherical wave. The sum of the secondary waves (waves that are a result of the disturbance) determines the form of the new wave. shows secondary waves traveling forward from their point of origin. He was able to come up with an explanation of the linear and spherical wave propagation, and derive the laws of reflection and refraction (covered in previous atoms) using this principle. He could not, however, explain what is commonly known as diffraction effects. Diffraction effects are the deviations from rectilinear propagation that occurs when light encounters edges, screens and apertures. These effects were explained in 1816 by French physicist Augustin-Jean Fresnel. ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ Click to visit the homepage of our channel :    / @edupoint.physics   EduPoint, Dam Road, Chandil, Dist- Seraikela-Kharsawan, Jharkhand, India.
