Reflection and Refraction Basics

The document discusses the concepts of reflection and refraction when radiation encounters the interface of two media with different refractive indices. It presents the Law of Reflection, which states that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection, and Snell's Law, which relates the angles of incidence and transmission to the refractive indices of the media. These principles are fundamental in understanding how light behaves at boundaries between different materials.
