For total internal reflection to occur, 2 conditions must be met: 1. The index of refraction must decrease across the boundary in the direction of light refraction. 2. The angle of incidence of the light ray must exceed the critical angle of the interface.

If ? > ?c, the entire ray reflects from the boundary. None passes through. This is called total internal reflection

Total interior angle of reflection is much greater than critical angle than this is known as total internal reflection.

“The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.” ? William Arthur Ward

The first condition is that the light should travel from optically denser to optically rarer medium, and the second condition is that the angle of incidence should be more than the critical angle.( Critical angle is the angle of incidence at which the refracted angle becomes 90 degrees. If the angle...
