The idea of secondary wavelets for the propagation of a wave was first given by

The following figure represents a wave front $AB$ which passes from air to another transparent medium and produces a new wave front $CD$ after refraction. The refractive index of the medium is $:$ ($PQ$ is the boundary between air and the medium)
