As waves pass from Medium A into Medium B, all points on any one wave front must be

A.  in phase                                         C.  traveling in the same medium

B.  traveling with the same speed      D.  in a straight line

The wave front is hitting at an angle.  

Since part of the wave front is in Medium B while the rest is in Medium A for the wave front that is both red and blue, all points are not travelling at the same speed.   B and C are wrong.

For this same wave front, all of the points are not in a straight line.

All points in a wave front must be in the same phase.

The Correct Answer is A.
