Path of light is unaffected by presence of external magnetic field.

Wave front is the locus of all the vibrating particle in the same phase. for example, an almond is dropped in a bucket full of milk, you can notice the circular wavefront generating on the surface of milk.

Wavelet is simply an oscillation that increases from zero reach to maximum and maximum to zero.

The differences are:

Wavefronts	Wavelets
A wavefront is the locus of all the particles which are in phase.	A wavelet is a point on any given wave front which acts as a new source of disturbance to move in all possible directions with the velocity of light.

The particle theory of light explains Einstein's Photoelectric effect.

Yes, Huygen's principle is also applicable to sound waves.

The direction of propagation of rays is perpendicular to the wavefront.

Wavefront is the locus of the adjacent points vibrating in the same phase. Hence, the wavefront also travels in the direction of propagation of energy by the wave. And, we know that the flow of energy does not happen from the lower potential to the higher potential. Therefore,there is no backward wavefront, flowing from lower disturbance to higher disturbance.

The speed of light is considered the universal speed limit. Yet, the measured speed of light varies with the change in optical density of the medium. Light propagates faster in the rarer medium and slower in the denser medium.

In other words, it also varies along with the change in permittivity and permeability of the medium, as the speed of light is given as the reciprocal of the square root of the product of permeability and permittivity of the medium.

If a point source of light is kept at the focus of a convex lens, we can get parallel waves emerging out from the lens, which form a plane wavefront.

According to Huygen's principle, each point on a wave acts as a source of the new disturbance. This new disturbance is called secondary wavelet.

We can obtain a spherical wavefront from the point source.

If the source is linear, we can get cylindrical wavefronts.

The speed of light is the universal speed limit, and also a universal constant. But the measured speed of light may be varied according to the change in optical density.

The speed of light depends on:

1. Optical Density
2. Permittivity of the medium
3. Permeability of the medium

In the equation y = A sin (kx-wt), 'y' represents the displacement of particles of the medium about the mean position.
