One case we can take advantage of in fields such as fiber optics is total internal refraction. Here the light never travels passed the boundary, which means when this first occurs the angle of refraction is 90°. If going from glass to air, at what incident angle would we first see total internal refraction? nε sin е=nдsin 90° A Calculate the angle and compare it to the angle measured using the simulation. Show work here.
