(i) A plane wavefront approaches a plane surface separating two media. If medium 1 is optically denser and medium 2 is optically rarer, using Huygens' principle, explain and show how a refracted wavefront is ^constructed?(ii) Verify Snell's law.(iii) When a light wave travels from a rarer to a denser medium, the speed decreases. Does it imply reduction in its energy?

(a) Two monochromatic waves emanating from two coherent sources have the displacements represented by `Y_1 = a cosomegat` and `Y_2 = a cos(omegat+phi)`, where `(phi)` is the phase difference between the two waves. Show that the resultant intensity at a point due to their superposition is given by `I =4I_0cos^2 phi//2`, where `I_0 = a^2`. (b) Hence, obtain the conditions for constructive and destructive
