Plane waves
In a plane wave disturbances travel in a single direction.
>> A finite part of large spherical wave coming from the sun is considered a plane wave.
Spherical waves
A wave in which the disturbance a propagated outward in all directions from the source of wave is called a spherical wave
>>The light waves are the example of spherical waves.
