Question

    What phenomenon occurs when the angle of incidence exceeds the critical angle?

    A Refraction Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Reflection Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Diffraction Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Total internal reflection Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total internal reflection occurs when the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle, causing the light to be completely reflected back into the medium rather than refracting.
