Physics
Mention one difference between the reflection of light from a plane mirror and total internal reflection of light from a prism.
Answer
| Plane mirror | Prism |
|---|---|
| In reflection of light from a plane mirror, only a part of the light is reflected while rest is refracted and absorbed. So, the reflection is partial. | In total internal reflection of light from a prism, the entire incident light is reflected back into the denser medium. So there is no loss of light energy. |
