Q4 of 79 Page 380

Huygens’ principle of secondary wavelets may be used to

Huygens principle tells us about the wave-fronts of an incoming light wave. Hence, option(C) is correct. It is also used to derive Snell's law. So option(D) is also correct.

Three observers A, R and C measure the speed of light coming from a source to be va, vB and vC. The observer A moves towards the source and C moves away from the source at the same speed. The observer B stays stationary. The surrounding space is vacuum everywhere.
