The figure shows a surface $XY$ separating two transparent media, medium -$1$ and medium -$2$. The lines $a b$ and cd represent wavefronts of a light wave travelling in medium-$1$ and incident on $XY$. The lines ef and gh represent wavefronts of the light wave in medium-$2$ after refraction.

$1.$ Light travels as a
$(A)$ parallel beam in each medium
$(B)$ convergent beam in each medium
$(C)$ divergent beam in each medium
$(D)$ divergent beam in one medium and convergent beam in the other medium.
$2.$ The phases of the light wave at $\mathrm{c}, \mathrm{d}, \mathrm{e}$ and $\mathrm{f}$ are $\phi_{\mathrm{c}}, \phi_{\mathrm{d}}, \phi_{\mathrm{e}}$ and $\phi_{\mathrm{f}}$ respectively. It is given that $\phi_{\mathrm{c}} \neq \phi_{\mathrm{f}}$
$(A)$ $\phi_{\mathrm{c}}$ cannot be equal to $\phi_{\mathrm{d}}$
$(B)$ $\phi_{\mathrm{a}}$ can be equal to $\phi_{\mathrm{e}}$
$(C)$ $\left(\phi_{\mathrm{d}}-\phi_t\right)$ is equal to $\left(\phi_{\mathrm{c}}-\phi_{\mathrm{e}}\right)$
$(D)$ $\left(\phi_{\mathrm{d}}-\phi_c\right)$ is not equal to $\left(\phi_{\mathrm{f}}-\phi_e\right)$

On a hot summer night, the refractive index of air is smallest near the ground and increases with height from the ground. When a light beam is directed horizontally, the Huygens' principle leads us to conclude that as it travels, the light beam
What is visible light ? Write various view on it.
Wavefront means
What is the shape of the wavefront in each of the following cases:
$(a)$ Light diverging from a point source.
$(b)$ Light emerging out of a convex lens when a point source is placed at its focus.
$(c)$ The portion of the wavefront of light from a distant star intercepted by the Earth.
Huygen's theory of secondary waves can be used of find
