When reaching a boundary between two media (1 and 2), an incident ray is partially reflected and partially refracted. The ray is travelling from media 1 to media 2.At what angle of incidence is the reflected ray perpendicular to the incident ray? The indexes of refraction for the two media are n1 and n2, respectively.

The angle of incidence when the reflected ray is perpendicular to the incident ray = 45°

Explanation:

According to Snell's Law,

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

When the angle between the incident ray and reflected ray is 90°, the angle of incidence is θ₁ and the angle of reflection, θ₂ = 90° - θ₁ and the index of refraction in the Snell's Law for both media would be the same, n₁ = n₂ = n

n sin θ₁ = n sin (90° - θ₁)

Note that from trigonometric relations,

Sin (90° - θ₁) = cos θ₁

n sin θ₁ = n cos θ₁

(sin θ₁)/(cos θ₁) = 1

tan θ₁ = 1

θ₁ = arctan 1 = 45°
