Laws of reflection:The reflection and refraction phenomenon is easily explained by Huygen's wave theory of light. The reflection of light is a process in which light strikes the object and gets reflected back.Answer and Explanation: Huygen's Principle is applied to wave propagation and according ...
In 1690, exactly three hundred years ago, the Dutch physicist, Christiaan Huygens, published his famous "Treatise of Light," in which he presented his theories on the emission, transmission, reflection, refraction and birefringence of light. Huygens thought that light was transmitted by the Ether,...

Joseph Priest, in International Edition University Physics, 1984 39.1 Huygens' Principle, Refraction, and Dispersion We can understand many aspects of the propagation of light without using Maxwell's electromagnetic wave theory. We ne...
“At present mathematical physicists are busy with the rapid developments of modern physics, and older problems are likely to be neglected” (referring to Huygens Principle in 1940)33. This is despite the common use of Huygens' construction to introduce wave theory, reflection, refraction, and ...
We propose a Huygens source unit cell to develop an ultrathin low-reflection metasurface, which could provide extreme controls of phases of the transmitted waves. Both electric and magnetic currents are supported by the proposed unit cell, thus leading to highly efficient and full controls of phase...

a high-efficient RA can be designed in near-grazing reflection angles. In this article without losing generality, an RA is designed to have the main beam at (θo=70∘,ϕo=225∘). In this RA, the unit cell periods have variable values and there is no need for resonant elements to...
