what is wavefront and wavelets ? what is the difference between them.

i suppose the wavefront is a kind of collection of waves in the same phase....and wavelet is a sort of 'daughter' wave that is produced and i think we can assume that a single secondary wave may be called wavelet

The Wavelets is a new wave Particle wich act as a New Source, Were as Wavefront are the Waves Generated, by the Wave Particles.


Wavefront -

A wave front is defined as a surface of constant phase of waves. For example, if a stone is dropped in a calm pool of water, waves spread out in circular rings from the point of impact. All points on such a circle are oscillating in phase. Such a circle is known as a wave front.


Wavelets -

A wavelet is a wave-like oscillation with an amplitude that starts out at zero, increases, and then decreases back to zero. It can typically be visualized as a "brief oscillation" like one might see recorded by a seismograph or heart monitor.

Generally, wavelets are purposefully crafted to have specific properties that make them useful for signal processing.

Wavelets are something which is in oscillation with amplitude that starts out at zero, increases, and then decreases back to zero.like sign wave ...

but Wavefronts are something waves spread out in circular rings from a point..
e,g when we throw stone in water some circular wave come that is wavefronts..

the difference between wavelets
and wavefront is the wavelets is a
new wave particle wich act as a new
source,were as wavefront are the
waves generated,by the wave
particles

Wavefront : An imaginary surface joining all points in space that are reached at the same instant by a wave propagating through a medium.
Wavelets : A wavelet is a wave like oscillation with an amplitude that start out at zero, increase and then decrease back to zero.
The difference between the wavefront and wavelets is the wavelets is the new wave particle which act as a new source where as the wavefront is the wave generated by the wave particle.
all the best.

longitudinal wave cant be polarized. why?

BEST OF LUCK...

why is light is bending when is passes through a aperture or obstacle

Hi m doing my final yr bds,m not interested in doing mds ,can I get a government job in Coimbatore after completing my course....

What is Wavefront and
Wavelets? Difference between
them?

Does the speed of light depends upon the nature pf its source?
What are the reasons to believe that light is a wave motion?
importance of measuring velocity of light?
is speed of light in medium independent of colout?
