According to Huygen's principle, the wavelets formed by a progressive wave propagating in an elastic media are always outward from the source.I have not seen any wavelet converging towards the source as it should becasue every point on the wavefronts give birth to new wavelets that spread out in all directions.Could anyone please clarify the reason to me?
