Huygens' Wave Theory of Light

For light diverging from a finite point source

A plane wave front is incident on a thin prism, thin convex lens and a concave mirror separately. The wave front(s) emerging out from the

Define the term 'wave front of light'. A plane wave front $AB$ propagating from denser medium $\left(1\right)$ into a rarer medium $\left(2\right)$ is incident on the surface $P_1{P}_2$ separating the two media as shown in fig.

Using Huygen's principle, draw the secondary wavelets and obtain the refracted wave front in the diagram.

What is the shape of wavefront due to source is at infinite distance.
