Answer
For a point source, the waveform produced is SPHERICAL.
Explanation:
Let's imagine a point source placed at a reference origin.
Now, as the waves radiate outwards from the source we can clearly imagine a sphere at a particular radius from the source at which all the particles of the wave are in the same phase.
So, at particular radii from the source, as all the particles will remain in the same phase, we will call that sphere as the waveform.
So, spherical waveform is produced.

Given:
Light source is point sized.
To find:
Shape of waveform?
Solution:
First of all , what is a waveform ?
- It is a particular place in a wave where all the vibrating particles are in the same phase.
Now, if the source is point sized, then
- consider concentric spheres of different radii where all the vibrating particles will have the same phase.
So, the waveform will be SPHERICAL.
Refer to diagram.
Hope It Helps.
