Question : 3

Total internal reflection can take place only if

a) the refractive indices of the two media are close to different

b) light goes from optically rarer medium (smaller refractive index) to optically denser medium

c) light goes from optically denser medium to rarer medium

d) the refractive indices of the two media are widely different

Answer: (c)

According to Snell’s Law

${sin i}/{sin r} = {µ_2}/{µ_1}$

where r = 90º for a particular incidence angle called the critical angle. When the incidence angle is equal to or greater than ic, then total internal reflection occurs.

It takes place when the ray of light travels from an optically denser medium (µ1 > µ2) to an optically rarer medium.
