A parallel beam of light is travelling obliquely from an optically rarer medium to an optically denser medium.
(i)
Draw a labelled diagram showing incident and refracted wavefronts. Mark angle of incidence as ‘$i$’ and angle of refraction as ‘$r$’.

Draw: ray diagram showing incident and refracted wavefronts with angle of incidence i and angle of refraction r

Must show: incident wavefront, refracted wavefront, angle of incidence i, angle of refraction r

(ii)
Use Huygens’ wave theory to prove Snell’s law.
