Answer:

Since it passes from a medium of a higher refractive index to that having a lower refractive index, the refracted light ray bends away from the normal. At a specific angle of incidence, the incident ray of light is refracted in such a way that it passes along the surface of the water.

Answer:

The consequences of total internal Reflection are a glass vessel's break frequently has the appearance of a mirror, a mirage and a diamond sparkles depending on the angle from which it is seen.

Explanation:

  • Total Internal Reflection is characterised as the occurrence of a phenomenon when light waves go from one medium with a higher optical density to one with a lower optical density.
  • It is expressed as, n1/n2 = sin i/sin r where r is the angle of refraction, i is the angle of incidence, n1 is the refractive index in medium 1 and n2 is the refractive index in medium 2
  • the two prerequisites for Total Internal Reflection
  • From a denser medium to a less dense one, the light ray travels.
  • The incidence angle has to be larger than the critical angle.

Following are the consequences of total internal reflection:

1. When the incident ray creates an angle on each face of the diamond, it is bigger than the critical angle. The diamond's critical value is 23°. The entire internal reflection that gives a diamond its sparkle is caused by this phenomenon.

2. A glass vessel's break frequently has the appearance of a mirror

3. At close ranges in a desert or on a road, the water layer appears to be there due to an optical illusion. Total internal reflection, which is brought on by air refraction, can be seen in Mirage as an example.

Thus, The consequences of total internal Reflection are a glass vessel's break frequently has the appearance of a mirror, a mirage and a diamond sparkles depending on the angle from which it is seen.
