Question
Why does a diamond shine more than a glass piece cut to the same shape?

Answer

M is concept: The ray get trapped inside the diamond and undergo multiple reflection and shine.
Concept: When while light falls on diamond as critical angle is very small it undergo multiple TIR before coming out more is TIR more separation is between the different colours when this light comes out and fall on eye. It due to different colours it shines.
