Huygens principle

Huygen's principle is used to

Deduce Snell's Law of refraction for a plane wave using Huygen's principle.

(a) Define a wavefront. Use Huygen' principle to shown diagrammatically the propagation of a plane wavefront from the intant t_(1)=0 to later time t_(2) . (b) State briefly two features which can distinguish the characteristic features of an interference pattern from those observed in the diffraction pattern due a single slit.
