Answer:
According to Snell’s law, we have:
sinisinr=μgμa …(i)
By the same law, we also have:
sinr′sine=μaμg …(ii)
We assume that PQ is parallel to SR (interfaces are parallel). Since N2N1 is perpendicular to PQ and N2'N1' is perpendicular to SR, N2N1 is parallel to N2'N1'. r=r′ follows from the equality of alternate interior angles.
From equations (i) and (ii), we have:
sinr′sine=sinrsini
Taking reciprocals of both sides:
sinesinr′=sinisinr …(iii)
Since r=r′, sinr=sinr′. Multiplying both sides of (iii) by sinr, we get:
sine=sini
Since both e and i are acute, their sines being equal implies that the angles are equal, e=i. This is the result we set out to prove.
Note: that if we don’t assume that PQ is parallel to SR, our proof would not be valid, since sinesinr′=sinisinr …(iii) would not imply sine=sini. The proof would also be invalid if AE and FD are not rays in the same medium, because we would not be able to get sinr′sine=sinrsini from equations (i) and (ii).
