Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) (B), (C) and (D) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Statement (B) is correct: Total internal reflection is a type of reflection, so the light remains in the same medium. Statement (C) is correct: The law of reflection (\( \theta_i = \theta_r \)) applies to all reflections, including total internal reflection. Statement (D) is…
