Question

what is difference between partial and internal reflection​

Answer 1

Answer:

Only a part of the total energy in the light is reflected during the normal reflection. Part of it is scattered and part of it is refracted. In total internal reflection all the light is reflected

Answer 2

Answer:

difference between partial and internal reflection

 · Reflection and total internal reflection are physical properties of waves. Reflection occurs in all kind of waves, but total internal reflection occurs only with light rays.

· Total internal reflection occurs when light passes through denser medium to the lighter medium. But for reflection there is no such restriction to consider.

· In reflection of a wave, both reflection and refraction (passing through second medium) waves occur. But in total internal reflection, only reflection ray is occurs.

· In total internal reflection, energy of incident ray and reflected ray are equal. However, in reflection it does not.
