Let PP represent the surface separating medium-1 and medium-2.

Let v1 and v2 be the speed of light in medium-1 and medium-2
respectively. Consider a plane wave front AB incident in medium-1
at angle i on the surface PP.
According to Huygens principle, every point on the wave front AB
is a source of secondary wavelets.
Let the secondary wavelet from B strike the surface PP at C in a time . Then BC = v1.
The secondary wavelet from A will travel a distance v2 as radius; draw an arc in medium 2.
The tangent from C touches the arc at E. Then AE = v2 and CE is the tangential surface touching all the spheres
of refracted secondary wavelets. Hence, CE is the refracted wave front. Let r be the angle of refraction.
In the above figure,
BAC = i = angle of incidence and ECA = r = angle of refraction

When an external voltage V is applied across a semiconductor diode

such that p-side is connected to the positive terminal of the battery
and n-side to the negative terminal it is said to be forward biased.

The direction of the applied voltage (V) is opposite to the built-in

potential V0 in the semiconductor diode. As a result, the width of
depletion layer decreases and the barrier height is reduced.

If the applied voltage is small, the barrier potential will be reduced

only slightly below the equilibrium value, the current will be small.
If the applied voltage increase to large value, the barrier height will
be reduced, the current increases.
