Assertion $A$: For light diverging from a point source,the intensity at the wavefront does not depend on the distance.
Reason $R$: In a diverging beam of light from a point source,a spherical wavefront is observed.

Explain the refraction of a plane wavefront by a thin convex lens.

You have learnt in the text how Huygens' principle leads to the laws of reflection and refraction. Use the same principle to deduce directly that a point object placed in front of a plane mirror produces a virtual image whose distance from the mirror is equal to the object distance from the mirror.
