Well, a straight lined wavefront will emerge out, after refraction as
a straight lined wavefront.
But in the case of spherical wavefront, what happens to its geometry
after refraction? Does it emerge out as a spherical wavefront or some
undefined shape? Well, after some discussions with my friend, we
concluded that it is not a spherical wavefront, but can anyone say why
is it so (i mean physically and not the proof) and what will be the
refracted wavefront's shape?
