We obtain compact, exact, analytical expressions for the first-passage-time distribution for a particle diffusing on a planar wedge for special values of the wedge angle. Specifically, we calculate the first-passage-time distribution for the diffusing particle through a planar wedge of angle pi/n, where n is an integer. For the cases n=2 and n odd, we provide an exact closed-form expression to the first-passage-time distribution while for the remaining cases, we provide it in integral form and evaluate numerically using quadratures. We then show that our results are in good agreement with Markovian simulations in the continuum limit.
