Total Internal Reflection is an optical phenomenon which occurs when a ray of light strikes a medium boundary at an angle larger than a particular critical angle with respect to the normal to the surface.
If the refractive index is lower on the other side of the boundary, no light can pass through and all of the light is reflected. The critical angle is the angle of incidence above which the total internal reflection occurs.
Hope I helped!

∙ 9y agoTotal internal reflection occurs when all of the light reflects between two media and none is refracted. When this happens, no light will be observed from the side opposite of the incident ray.

Why are the pools around the Taj Mahal important?
The pools around the Taj Mahal are basically reflection pools. If you see a picture of the Taj Mahal you can see the reflection of the building in the pools. Like most reflection pools the water is shallow and the water is not effected by fountain jets so that the reflection is kept still from any waves.
