    I Huygens' principle doubt -- How do different shapes of wavefronts appear to the human eye?

    Thanks for that 😊 Got it!

    I meant the sharpness as well as the depth perception by the brain

    I Huygens' principle doubt -- How do different shapes of wavefronts appear to the human eye?

    I'm totally perplexed now

    So, both of the wavefronts would appear the same depending on whether our eye is focused or not... Is that so?

    I Huygens' principle doubt -- How do different shapes of wavefronts appear to the human eye?

    So what's the right answer??

    But basically, here we are focusing on the scenario where both the objects under consideration (star and LED) will be our centre of attention (at one moment, one object and at the next moment, the next one)... Taking that into account my assertion is still relevant, ain't it?

    Yeah that's true. I've experimented with that thing a lot since my childhood.

    I Huygens' principle doubt -- How do different shapes of wavefronts appear to the human eye?

    Okay thank you so much everyone. Now i have understood where you all are getting at. A mistake that I did from my side was assuming that the LED was beyond our 'near distance' (that counts as a few centimetres too I guess) which led me to think that both of the lights (from LED as well as the...

    Wouldn't both of them appear blurry? I mean, we can't see individual light rays. Do you mean in any other way?

    I Huygens' principle doubt -- How do different shapes of wavefronts appear to the human eye?

    Aha! So that leads to the observation that all forms of wavefronts look akin to us.

    I Huygens' principle doubt -- How do different shapes of wavefronts appear to the human eye?

    Okay. Thanks for your former clarification :) Regarding the questions asked in the latter section, If I look at an LED and star, they both look alike. The light from both sources appear the same. Now talking about their wavefronts, LED has a spherical one since it's just centimetres away from...

    I Huygens' principle doubt -- How do different shapes of wavefronts appear to the human eye?

    So basically you're trying to convey that all of it will look the same to our eyes... Just as light... Right?

    I Huygens' principle doubt -- How do different shapes of wavefronts appear to the human eye?

    I learnt that wavefronts can be spherical, cylindrical or planar. But i wonder, if one were to observe light waves of different wavefronts with naked eyes, how would they appear? Would they appear all the same or would there be any difference in how we see them? Just a basic question that I felt...

    How Can New Members Enrich Our Science Community?

    Hey! This is Jasmine Masown here. A curious learner, book lover and a science buff. I've been passionate about science and how things in our universe work ever since I was a Lil kid. Hopefully carrying that love for science forward in the form of formal education (physics undergrad). Thank you...
