Question:

What is the condition of occurrence of TIR among the following?

Options:

The ray of light incident on the interface of the two refracting media should travel from optically rarer media to an optically denser media.

The angle of incidence should be greater than the critical angle for the given pair of media.

Both

None.

Correct Answer:

The angle of incidence should be greater than the critical angle for the given pair of media.

Explanation:

Conditions for TIR :

  1. The ray of light incident on the interface of the two refracting media should travel from optically denser media to an optically rarer media.
  2. The angle of incidence should be greater than the critical angle for the given pair of media.
