reflection and refraction

We use only 2 boundary conditions in driving Fresnel's laws, whereas Maxwell's equations provided 4 conditions (2 were identical to other 2). What is the intuitive explanation for this redundancy? which boundary conditions turned out to be equivanlent to each other.

For each polarization, one Maxwell equation doesn't enter, and one equation is equivalent to another. Just write the equatons and you will see this.

I think you should look at an intermediate EM textbook.
