摘要
This paper examines conflicting claims in the literature regarding whether the wave equation satisfies Huygens' principle in a conformally Rat spacetime. It is concluded that in general the wave equation does not satisfy Huygens' principle, but there is an exception for the case of the electromagnetic field tenser.
