I’ve seen posts similar to this one, but I’m still struggling to understand this concept.
Huygen’s principle is only valid with an odd number of spatial dimensions, yet it is often taught with the visual aid of 2 dimensional water waves.
So why doesn’t Huygen’s principle apply in 2 dimensions, and why does it apply in scenario shown with the water wave visuals.
