What is a wave front?

Prove laws of reflection using Huygens' principal. (OR) Proof for laws of reflection using Huygens' Principal:

A point source of light is placed in front of a plane mirror.

You have learnt in the text how Huygens' principle leads to the laws of reflection and refraction. Use the same principle to deduce directly that a point object placed in front of a plane mirror produces a virtual image whose distance from the mirror is equal to the object distance from the mirror.
