Identify the correct statements among the following.

(A) The wavefront for a point source of light is in a spherical shape, rays are all radial from the point source,
(B) All the points on a cylindrical wavefront vibrate in the same phase,
(C) A set of straight lines perpendicular to a wavefront are called rays of light. Light energy does not flow along these lines.
(D) Every point of a given wavefront acts as a fresh source of a secondary wavelet
