- When a ray of light travels from a denser medium into a rarer medium at an angle greater than the critical angle, it reflects back into the denser medium. This phenomenon is called total internal reflection. Conditions for total internal reflection.
- Light should travel from denser medium to rarer medium.
- Angle of incidence should be greater than critical angle.
- $\frac{1}{\mu} = \frac{\sin\text{ i}}{\sin\text{ r}} , $ for total internal reflection to occur $i \geq i _{c}$ at critical angle, angle of refraction$\text{?}=90^{o}$, hence, $\frac{1}{\mu} = \frac{\sin\text{i}_{c}}{\sin90^{o}}$
