Is it necessary to have a denser medium for the reflection of light?

no. if the medium is denser, the reflection of light would not do it.


What is Optical denser medium?

Optical dense refers to the index of refraction. If one medium is optically denser than another, then its index of refraction is larger, meaning the speed of light in the optically denser medium is smaller.

Is it possible to achieve total internal reflection if the object is in rarer medium?

First we should know what will be happen when the light ray goes from denser medium to rarer medium and rarer medium to denser mdeium.... 1. The light refracted away from the normal (Denser to Rarer) 2. The light refracted towards the normal (Rarer to denser) So it is not possibel to get total internal reflection whan the light travel from rarer to denser medium...... Conditions to achieve to get TIR 1. The light should travel from denser mediumt to rarer medium 2. The angle of incidence at the interface should be greater than critical angle if you are not satisfied kindly mail me cramkum@gmail.com


How does the speed of a wave relate to the density of the medium it is traveling through?

The faster the wave, the denser the medium


Is there any phase change occurred when sound wave refracted from denser medium to a rarer medium?

NO


What are the conditions for total internal reflection to take place?

Light must travel from the optically denser medium to the optically less dense one. For total internal reflection to occur, the angle of incidence in the optically denser medium must be greater than the critical angle of that medium. The critical angle is that angle of incidence in the optically denser medium for which the angle of refraction is 90o.


What happenend light from rarer to denser medium?

It slowed down.


How does the pitch vary with density?

the denser the medium the lower the pitch


When a passes from a less dense medium to a denser one most of the wave energy is?

When a wave passes from a less dense medium to a denser one, most of the wave energy is answer is reflected FALSE


The denser the medium through which it is traveling the slower a what wave propagates?

Electromagnetic wave, namely, light as it travels through denser medium its speed decreases from its speed when it travels through air or vacuum.


What happends when a wave passes from less to a denser medium?

it speeds up
