Yes it can. Huygens Principle basically states that every point wave front can be considered as a secondary source of tiny wavelets that spread out in the forward direction of the wave itself.
If it's still a blur to you, think of when someone is talking. Even though they maybe directed towards someone else, you can hear them, right? That's because all the secondary particles on that particular wave front spread out in all different directions.
Also, think of water. Huygens principle can be applied to it too. When you throw a rock in to a lake, don't you see that "ripple effect"? The reason is because the particles on the secondary wavefront spread out in all different areas that are directly tangent to the first wave. (Imagine that over and over again! Isn't that cool?)

What causes waves to refract or bend?
This is not exactly easy to understand. It can be explained by the fact that waves move slower in certain media - combined with the Huygens-Fresnel principle.
What is cymatic therapy?
A form of sound therapy that is not applied through hearing, but by instruments that send audible sound waves directly into the body through the skin.
Does sound produce waves?
Yes sound does produce waves. These special waves are called sound waves.
Does a soft sound have tall waves?
No, soft sound waves have short waves. Loud sound waves are the ones that have tall waves.
What do you do to turn sound waves into small electric currents so they can be recorded?
Use a microphone. Sound waves cause small vibrations of a diaphragm which disturbs an applied electric or magnetic field, which causes small currents in pickup circuitry.
How loudspeaker can increase the power of sound?
it amplifies the sound actually, by strengthening the waves. the sound waves are converted into equivalent electrical waves and then it amplifies and later those electrical waves are converted the sound waves . the principle of electromagnetic induction is applied here.

What is frequency applied to sound waves?
It sound of pitch
What is the principle of sonicator?
The principle is that sound waves are used to make particles move around.

A form of sound therapy that is not applied through hearing, but by instruments that send audible sound waves directly into the body through the skin.
Does sound produce waves?
Yes sound does produce waves. These special waves are called sound waves.
On what princple does sonar and radar works?
A sonar transmits sound waves and captures it back after they strike an object. They work on the dopplers principle.
What sound waves do?
Sound waves carry sound
Sound waves are examples of what?
sound waves are a example of mechanical waves
Does a soft sound have tall waves?
No, soft sound waves have short waves. Loud sound waves are the ones that have tall waves.
