### Step-by-Step Solution #### (a) Define wavefront and verify the laws of refraction using Huygens' principle. 1. **Definition of Wavefront**: - A wavefront is defined as a surface over which an oscillation or wave has a constant phase. In simpler terms, it is the surface formed by connecting all points that are vibrating in the same phase of a wave. 2. **Huygens' Principle**: ...
