                            9. According to Huygens’ principle, Every point on a wave-front may be considered a source of secondary spherical wavelets which spread out in the forward direction at the speed of light. The new wave-front is the tangential surface to all of these secondary wavelets.
                              \nA surface touching these secondary wavelets, tangentially in the forward direction at any instant gives the new wavefront at that instant. This is called secondary wavefront.

                              \nIf v1<\/sub>, v2<\/sub> are the speeds of light into two mediums 1 and 2 respectively and t is the time taken by light to go from B to C or A to D or E to G through F, then from {tex}\\Delta A F E , \\sin i = E F \/ A F{\/tex}<\/span>

                              \nNow total time taken by the light to move to the distance from E to G, t = t1<\/sub> + t2<\/sub> = {tex}\\frac {EF}{v_1} + \\frac {FG}{v_2} =\\frac {AF sin~i}{v_1} + \\frac {FC sin~r}{v_2}{\/tex}<\/span>

                              \nFor rays of light from the different parts on the incident wavefront, the values of AF are different. But light from different points of the incident wavefront should take the same time to reach the corresponding points on the refracted wavefront.
                              \nSo, t should not depend on AF. This is possible only,
