Share:
- 1For total internal reflection to happen, the light ray must travel from an optically denser medium to an optically rarer medium.
- 2In total internal reflection, 100% of the light energy is reflected back and no transmission of light takes place.
- 3The angle of incidence in the denser medium must be greater than the critical angle for total internal reflection to occur.
- 4At the critical angle of incidence, the angle of incidence inside the medium equals 90°.✓
Correct answer
At the critical angle of incidence, the angle of incidence inside the medium equals 90°.
