Wavefront is the continuous locus of all particles which are vibrating in the same phase.
It is of three types:
1. spherical-- the source of light is point source
2. cylindrical--the source of light is linear source
3. plane-- when the point source or the linear source is at a very large distance, plane wavefront appears.
