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

A light ray strikes the perfectly smooth boundary between two different materials. The index of refraction of the material before the boundary is lower than that of the material after the boundary. On the basis of this information, the light ray will be a. partially transmitted in a direction deviating more from the normal and partially reflected. b. partially transmitted in a direction deviating less from the normal and partially reflected. c. partially transmitted exactly in the same direction and...

If I have a light ray trapped between two very reflective surfaces such that the light ray doesn't dissipate, how exactly can I know that there IS a light ray there, without disturbing it? As far as I understand, for me to actually observe the light ray with my eyes means the light ray coming out of this loop towards my eyes, escaping the loop. An easy way to test it I suppose is to stick my hand in it...
