It only happens when the incident ray is shone at 90 degrees. The refracted ray will then travel along the same path as the incident ray. This is known as total internal refraction.

How incident ray are refracted by a convex mirror?
A mirror does not refract light, it REFLECTS it.
How is an incident ray related to a reflected ray?
The relation between the incident ray and reflected ray is described by the material which is reflecting the incident ray. depending upon the material used the incident ray is scattered or reflected or refracted or transmitted or absorbed. For example if you take rainbow the sun light is incident on the rain drop , it reflected back of drop several times and due to that we get the rainbow with various colours.
What is refraction ray?
A refracted ray passes through the medium, at a different angle to the normal than the incident ray. by Ronan Lavery
How to derive lateral shifting formula?
When a ray of light from a medium is incident on another medium with different optical density, the ray bends due to refraction. The perpendicular distance between the emergent ray and the incident ray is called the lateral shift. The angle which the incident ray makes with the normal is called angle of incidence denoted by 'i' and the angle made by the refracted ray with the normal is called the angle of refraction denoted by 'r'. Lateral shift is given by the formula:- Where t is the thickness of the glass slab, i is the angle of incidence and r is the angle of refraction
How does incident light emerge from a prism?
Incident light hits a prism, refracted or reflected light emerges from it. In what manner it is different from the incident light depends on the angle of incidence and the angles of the prism. Commonly it may be refracted, dispersed or reflected back.
What is the correct definition of the angle of deviation?
it is the angle between the direction of the incident ray and the refracted ray.
How incident ray are refracted by a convex mirror?
A mirror does not refract light, it REFLECTS it.
Is the angle between the incident ray and the refracted ray a constant for a given pair of media?
Yeah or yeha
What does the term angle of deviation mean in reference to light?
the angle the theoretical incident ray makes with the final refracted ray

When light is incident on a surface at 30 degrees it is found that reflected ray and refracted ray are perpendicular to each other Find angle of refraction How?
The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.
What are the terms related to refraction of light?
terms realated to refraction of light are * interface * incident ray * refracted ray * point of incidence *normal *angle of incidence * angle of refraction *angle of deviation
What is refraction ray?
A refracted ray passes through the medium, at a different angle to the normal than the incident ray. by Ronan Lavery
What does n1 sin 01 equals n2 sin 02 mean?
it is the formula of refraction. this is based of snell's law and its about the incident ray and the refracted ray. page 3 of this should be of help to you

Prove that the angle between reflected and refracted rays is 90 degree if a ray incident from denser to rarer medium?
Rephrase the question PLEASE. I can't even prove there is a question in that sentence.
