a wavefront is defined as a surface of constant phase.a wavefront is the locus of all points in the medium that have the same phase.
the ray,at each point of wavefront,is normal to the wavefront at that point. the ray indicates the direction of propagation of wave while the wavefront is the surface of constant phase.
