write the two conditions to produce total internal reflection and give one application for it
-
TIR occurs when the first medium has a larger refractive index than the second medium
another condition is that the incidence angle has to be more than or equal to Sin^-1 (n2/n1) (or the critical angle)
The popularity of total internal reflection for communication purposes has steadily increased over the last several years, as light can travel considerably faster than electricity, and significanly more information can be encoded. Total internal reflection is used in technology such as firbe optic cables.
hope it helps
