The essential condition for total internal reflection to occur is :

  1. A angle of incidence \(i>\) critical angle \(i_c\)
  2. B angle of incidence \(i<\) critical angle \(i_c\)
  3. C angle of incidence \(i=\) critical angle \(i_c\)
  4. D angle of incidence \(i=90^{\circ}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) angle of incidence \(i>\) critical angle \(i_c\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Total Internal Reflection (TIR) occurs when light travels from a denser medium to a rarer medium. If the angle of incidence exceeds the critical angle, the light can no longer refract out and is instead reflected completely back into the denser medium. A) angle of incidence…
