Answer:

According to Huygen's theory, a point in a doubly refracting or birefringent crystal produces 2 types of wavefronts. The wavefront corresponding to the O-ray is spherical wavefront. The ordinary wave travels with same velocity in all directions and so the corresponding wavefront is spherical.
