What is total internal reflection?
Figure shows a point source P inside a water container. Three rays A, B and C starting from the source P are shown up to the water surface.
(a) Show in the diagram, the path of these rays after striking the water surface. The critical angle for water-air surface is 48°.
(b) Name the phenomenon which the rays A, B and C exhibit.
State two conditions necessary for total internal reflection to occur.
Figure below shows two rays A and B travelling from water to air. If the critical angle for water-air surface is 48°, complete the ray diagram showing the refracted rays for each. State conditions when the ray will suffer total internal reflection.
