What is total internal refraction?
When the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle,the light ray reflects into denser medium at interface. This is total internal refraction
When the refracted light is bent back into the incident material is called a?
total internal refraction
What happens when the angle of refraction is 90 degrees or greater?
I think total internal reflection
What does refraction and reflection have to do with mirages?
Actually it is refraction process and specifically indentified as total internal reflection. The condition for total reflection is that the ray has to traverse from denser medium to the rarer medium and the angle of incidence has to be more than the critical angle.
What other objects can make refraction happen refraction happen?
Other than what??? Refraction will happen any time light passes from one material to another.

Do you need total internal refraction to get the fiber optics to work?
Not internal refraction - internal reflection. And yes, that's essential to make fiber optics work.
What is mirage due to total internal reflection?
refraction of light
Is total internal reflection causes rainbow?
Nope. It's caused by refraction.
What is refraction of light and what cause light to refract?
what is the meant by total internal reflection
When the refracted light is bent back into the incident material is called a?
total internal refraction
What happens when the angle of refraction is 90 degrees or greater?
I think total internal reflection
What happens if the refraction angle is greater than ninety degrees?
This means no refraction occurs i.e. Total internal reflection (all light reflected) occurs
What is the minimum index of refraction for a glass or plastic prism to be used in binoculars so that total internal reflection occurs at 45 degrees?
The minimum index of refraction for a glass or plastic prism to be used in binoculars so that total internal reflection occurs at 45 degrees is 1.414
Where do rainbows appear?
reflection, refraction, dispersion and total internal reflection of the sun's rays make rainbows appear.
