We assume an interface between two materials called $1$ with dielectric constant $\varepsilon_1$ and $2$ with dielectric constant $\varepsilon_2$. The surface is defined by the normal vector of the interface $\mathbf{n}_{I}$ and there are no external surface charges or currents. For simplicity, we surpress the arguments $\left(\mathbf{r},t\right)$ here. All fields can then be split into the component parallel to the interface (hence perpendicular to the normal vector) and perpendicular to the interface (hence parallel to the normal vector). For example we consider the electric field: Define the normalized field vector $\hat{\mathbf{E}}=\mathbf{E}/E$ we split it into
