Sketch the emergent wavefront

Since it is not possible to draw here, I have attached the picture of an emergent wavefront taken from google.
A wavefront is a locus where all the particles in the same phase are vibrating at a given instant. It is described as a surface which at every point on it has the same phase of vibrating materials at a given instant.
The shape of a wavefront depends on many factors. The wavefront will be spherical when there is a point source, it will be cylindrical when there is a line source and it will be a plane when the source is at infinity.
