Answer 1

Answer:

Atmospheric refraction is the deviation of light from a straight line as it passes through the atmosphere due to the variation in air density as a function of height. Eg. Twinkling of stars.

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.
