Using Huygens' principle and drawing the skteches of wavefront,show how a parallel beam of light is reflected from a polshed surface and hence verify that anglei=angler .

State the principle,which helps us to determine the shape of the wavefront at a later time from its given shape at any time.Apply this principle to Derive Snell's law of refraction by drwing the refracted wavefront corresponing to a plane wavefront incident on the boundary separating a rarer medium from a denser medium.

How is a wavefront defined? Using Huygens' prniciple draw a figure showing the propagation of a plane wave refracting at a plane surface separating two media. Hence verify Snell's law of refraction.

By stating the sign conventions and assumptions used, derive the relation between distance of object, distance of image and radius of curvature of convex spherical surfaces, when refraction takes from optically rarer to optically denser medium.

How is a wavefront defined? Using Huygens' prniciple draw a figure showing the propagation of a plane wave reflecting at the interface of the two media. Show that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

Verify Snell's law of refraction when a plane wavefront is propagating from denser to a rarer medium.

the radius of curvature of convex surface is 10 cm and if an object lies at a distance of 20 cm from it in the rarer medium,find the position of the image assuming that refractive index of the rarer medium is 1.0 ,while that of the denser medium is 2.0.
