The singular point of the Gauss map of a hypersurface in Euclidean space is the parabolic point where the Gauss-Kronecker curvature vanishes. It is well-known that the contact of a hypersurface with the tangent hyperplane at a parabolic point is degenerate. The parabolic point has been investigated in the previous research by applying the theory of Lagrangian or Legendrian singularities. In this paper we give a new interpretation of the singularity of the Gauss map from the view point of the theory of wave front propagations.
