Total internal reflection can take place only, if

  1. A the refractive indices of the two media are equal.
  2. B light goes from an optically denser medium to a rarer medium
  3. C light goes from an optically rarer medium to an optically denser medium
  4. D The angle of incidence is less than the critical angle.
