Hello,
1. Homework Statement [/b]

http://imageshack.com/a/img17/2531/gu44.png Uploaded with ImageShack.com
I'm trying to prove this but i didn't succeed

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


For the t I multiplied by sin(θt) in the numerator and denominator and used
sin(a) * cos(b) = 1/2 × (sin(a+b) + sin(a-b))
I ended with a 4cos(θt)sin(θi)/[sin(θi+θt)+sin(θt-θi)] but then ?
For r I don't even know how to start

Thanks

That is all right, but use Snell's Law nisin(θi)=ntsin(θt) after, and see if you can simplify...

and for r, how can I start
 
The same way.
