What is total internal reflection
Where a wave is refracted at the boundary between a dense medium and a less dense medium when the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle.
Where a wave is refracted at the boundary between a dense medium and a less dense medium when the angle of incidence is smaller than the critical angle.
Where a wave is reflected at the boundary between a dense medium and a less dense medium when the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle.
