Explain the conditions for total internal reflection. (A) The conditions for total internal reflection are the the light is travelling from an optically denser medium (higher refractive index) to an optically less dense medium (lower refractive index) and that the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle. (B) The angle of incidence in the denser medium must be greater than the critical angle for that pair of media. The ray of light must travel from a denser medium into a rarer medium. (C) The change in direction of a wave at a boundary between two different media, so that the wave moves back into the medium it came from. (D) This phenomenon is known as refraction. Snell's Law states that the ratio of the angles of incidence and refraction is equal to the inverse ratio of the indices of refraction.
