Wavefronts

A plane wavefront is incident normally on a convex lens. Sketch the reflected wavefront emerging from the lens.

Draw a diagram to show refraction of a plane wave front incident in a convex lens and hence draw the refracted wave front

A plane wavefront AB is incident on a concave mirror as shown. Then,the reflected wavefront will be

The refractive index of a medium changes as mu=mu_(0)[1-(x^(2)+y^(2))/(d_(2))]^(1//2) where mu_(0) is the refractive index on the z axis. A plane wavefront (AB) is incident along z axis as shown in the figure. Draw the wavefront at a later time Deltat . Is the wavefront getting focused?

Wavefront means
