Total internal reflection can take place only, if
- A the refractive indices of the two media are equal.
- B light goes from an optically denser medium to a rarer medium
- C light goes from an optically rarer medium to an optically denser medium
- D The angle of incidence is less than the critical angle.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) light goes from an optically denser medium to a rarer medium
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
light goes from an optically denser medium to a rarer medium This is the primary requirement. In a denser-to-rarer transition, the refracted ray bends away from the normal.

There are mainly four series of the transition metals, \(3 d\) series ( \(S c\) to Zn), \(4 d\) series (Y to Cd), \(5 d\) series (La and Hf to Hg ) and 6d series which has Ac and elements from Rf to Cn . The two series of the inner transition metals; \(4 f\) ( Ce to Lu ) and \(5 f\) (Th to Lr ) are known as lanthanoids and actinoids respectively. Their chemical properties are transitional between those of \(s\) and \(p\) block elements. The transition metals (with the exception of Zn, Cd and Hg) are very hard and have low volatility. Their melting and boiling points are high. Transition metals have incomplete d subshell either in neutral atom or in their ions. With partly filled d orbitals these elements exhibit certain characteristic properties such as display of a variety of oxidation states, formation of coloured ions and entering into complex formation with a variety of ligands. The transition metals and their compounds are known for their catalytic activity.
In general the electronic configuration of outer orbitals of transition metals is \((n - 1)d^{1-10}ns^{1-2}\) but Pd shows an exceptional electronic configuration as......CUET 2025 Easy
