wavelets that spread out in all directions at the speed of propagation in the medium. The envelope of leading edges forms a wave front. • This principle was stated by Huygen in 1678, it can be derived from Maxwell’s eqns. It is a geometrical description of ray propagation. Plane wave example; Secondary wavelets create another wave front ...

As an example, let’s add the 2007 federal deficit ($354 billion) to the 2006 federal debt ($8.51 trillion). We must convert them both to some mutually convenient exponential power (here, let’s choose 12) before adding:
