Refractive index of the medium is equated to 1/ sin C
Here C is the critical angle.
Diamond has high refractive index more than 2.
So critical angle becomes very low. So for falling radiations at angles of incidence greater than this smaller value of critical angle, total internal reflection becomes possible.

Is mirage caused by total internal reflection?
yes
When is total internal reflection used in real life?
Gf
Can total internal reflection occur in iron substances?
Not possible
Why does total internal reflection occur in diamonds more than in other gemstones?
Because of a diamonds clarity and its molecular make-up, which is more dense than other gemstones. This is true even when a diamond and a different gemstone are cut exactly the same way.
What name is given to the angle where total internal reflection occurs?
Total internal reflection occurs when the angle of incidence with respect to the normal at the boundary to a less dense medium exceeds the critical angle.
When is total internal reflection used to carry light?
It is used in optical fibers. It is also the reason we see a rainbow and why diamonds have their brilliance.
What is an example of toal internal reflection?
periscope is an example of total internal reflection.
How will you demonstrate total internal reflection?
you can demonstrate total internal reflection using a light source and glass gratings.
