Explanation Total reflection of light states that, when the light passes from one material into a second material where the index of refraction is less, the light bends away from the normal. At the angle of incidence, the incidence angle is greater than the critical angle and the light would be total internally reflected. Since, the light travels from in medium which has refractive index is n 1 and it is incident on the another medium which has refractive index is n 2 . From total internal refraction, the refractive index of the first medium should be greater than the second medium and bending of the light of first medium will be more towards the normal due to high refractive index. Thus, condition under which total internal reflection occurs at the interface of the two media should be n 1 > n 2
