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 Show that a spherical/plane wavefront continues to propagate forward as a sherical/plane wave front.

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

Using Huygen's principle and drawing the sketches of wavefronts,show how a parallel beam of ligth is refrated from the surface of separation of a rarer medium to a denser medium .Verify Snell's law.

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.

A plane wave front AB propagating from denser medium (1)into a rarer medium (2) is incident on the surface P_1P_2 separating the two media as shown in the figure. Using Huygen's principle, draw the secondary wavelets and obtain the refracted wave front in the diagram.

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.

A colloidal solution is a type of mixture which consists of particles whose size varies between 1 and 1000 nanometres. In colloidal solution the particles are distributed evenly. During this process the particles do not settle down. This is one of the best know thing about colloidal solutions. Properties of colloids and their variation are a well-known area ever since the primitive age. The best example to prove their familiarity with us is that we know from very early times that coagulation of milk results in the formation of curd. Physical properties of colloids 1. The nature of the colloidal solution is heterogeneous i.e. unlike. These solutions dwell with two different phases : • Dispersed medium Dispersed phase. 2. Despite the fact that colloidal dispersions are unlike in description (nature), yet the dispersed fragments are not detectabJe by the human eye. This is due to the microscopic size of the particles in the solution. 3. The colour of the colloidal dispersion is determined by particles in the solution based on their size. The wavelengths of light that is absorbed will be longer ifthe size of the particle is large. 4. As a result of its size, the colloidal fragments can easily be passed through a traditional filter paper. However, these particles can be filtered by using membranes such as animal, cellophane, and ultrafilters. Give the name of membrane used for filteration ?
