A ray of light strikes the interface between two media. At the interface some of the light is reflected; the reflected ray obeys the law of reflection, so the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.
If the index of refraction is the same (n1 = n2) in the two media, which path will the refracted ray follow?
Next question : I - Refraction (case 3).
Previous question : G - Refraction (case 1).
