Answer
The two necessary conditions for total internal reflection are —
- The light must travel from a denser medium to a rarer medium.
- The angle of incidence must be greater than the critical angle for the pair of media.

What is total internal reflection?
Draw diagrams to illustrate critical angle and total internal reflection.
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.
