Huygens' Principle: Huygens' principle states that each point on a wavefront can be considered as a source of secondary wavelets, which then combine to form the new wavefront at a later time.
Students should also practice solving problems related to interference, diffraction, and polarization to solidify their understanding of these concepts. Additionally, conducting experiments or simulations related to wave optics can provide a hands-on understanding of the phenomena involved.
