2-1 Sound waves

 
A ray is directed perpendicular to wavefronts and indicates the direction of travel of the wavefronts.
A point source emits waves equally in all direction

Definitions

A wavefront is an imaginary surface over which the displacements of particles are the same.
Spherical waves
Away from the point source, we can approximate the wavefronts as planes.
Planar waves are waves with planar wavefronts
