Question

The wave fronts from a distant source of light are represented as parallel lines. How should the light rays from this source be represented?

parallel lines that are perpendicular to the wave fronts

parallel lines that coincide with the wave fronts

lines that diverge from a single point on the leading wave front

tiny circles that extend from the leading wave front
