In the figure is a unit vector in the direction of an incident ray of light, and and are unit vectors in the directions of the reflected and refracted rays. If is a unit vector normal to the surface , the laws of optics say that and , where and are constants(indices of refraction). Write these laws in vector form (using dot or cross products).

over the entire surface of the hemisphere,
where .
Evaluate each of the following integrals in the easiest way you can.
around the square bounded by
Given and the point (3,4,1) find
(a) at P ;
(b) a unit vector normal to the surface at P ;
(c) a vector in the direction of most rapid increase of at P;
(d) the magnitude of the vector in (c);
(e) the derivative of at in a direction parallel to the line
Find the direction of the line normal to the surface at the point. Write the equations of the tangent plane and normal line at this point.
