speed of light in medium 1 is V1 and speed of light in medium 2 is V2

OR

this is snell’s law of refraction

These represent the refractive indeices in medium 1 and 2

here lambda 1 and 2 are the wavelengths of the two mediums

here ic is the critical angle above which no refracted wave will form

Also at this angle wave will undergo total internal reflection

constructive interference
destructive
interference

this is the amplitude of the resultant discplacement
