Answer:
it is amethod of analysis applied to problems of wave propagation both in the far feild limit and in near feild limit diffraction and also reflection .
Explanation:
it states that every point on awavefront is itself the source of spherical wavelets ,and the secondary wavelengths emanating from diffrent points mutually interfere .the sum of these spherical wavelets form the wavefront .
