the overlapped crests of tiny secondary waves – that wavefronts are made up of tinier wavefronts. Wavefronts are an array of identical waves that have the same source and travels through a homogeneous medium‚ thus their corresponding crests and troughs are in the same phase at any given time. These waves‚ then completed identical fractions of their cyclic motion. Therefore‚ an imaginary surface depicting parallel points of a wave that vibrates in accord is considered a wavefront.
