In the rain sensor (1), the prism (5) includes the first and the second lens surfaces (19,21) at the light-emitting side and the light-receiving side on optical axes each differently directed. The prism (5) also includes a first reflection wall (27) which reflects the light injecting the first lens surface (19) at the light-emitting side toward the first detection surfaces (33,37) of the windshield panel (11), and a second reflection wall (29) which reflects the light injecting from the second lens surface (21) at the light-emitting side to be reflected on second detection surfaces (35,39) of the windshield panel (11) toward the second lens surface (25) at the light-receiving side. The light reflected on the first detection surface (33,37) is condensed to inject the light-receiving element (9) from the first lens surfaces (23), and the light reflected on the second detection surfaces (35,39) is condensed to inject the light-receiving element (9) from the second lens surface (25) through reflection on the second reflection wall (29).
