Explain the partial reflection, critical angle and total internal reflection with. thew help of a neat labelled diagram.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Total internal reflection, in physics, complete reflection of a ray of light within a medium such as water or glass from the surrounding surfaces back into the medium. The phenomenon occurs if the angle of incidence is greater than a certain limiting angle, called the critical angle.

Total internal reflection takes place when the angle of incidence for the light ray is greater than the so-called critical angle. The critical angle is defined as the angle of incidence that provides an angle of refraction of 90-degrees.
