Total internal reflection occurs when light travels from a denser medium to a less dense medium at an angle greater than the critical angle. The critical angle is specific to the two media involved and is determined by their refractive indices. Additionally, the light must be incident at an angle greater than this critical angle for total internal reflection to take place.

Does hairy styles have 4 nippels?
Harry Styles does not have four nipples; he has a condition known as supernumerary nipples, which is relatively common and can occur in some individuals. This condition results in the presence of extra nipples, but it does not mean he has four functional nipples. In interviews, he has mentioned this aspect of his anatomy humorously, but it’s not something that defines him as an artist.
What does pityriasis rosea feel like?
In addition to pruritus, some patients have prodromal symptoms, which are warning symptoms that occur before the herald patch appears. Prodromal symptoms of pityriasis rosea may include fever
Can you get pregnant when you don't have no more periods?
Somewhere around age 50, women usually stop ovulating (releasing an egg to be fertilized), a condition known as menopause. Once a woman has completely stopped ovulating, she cannot become pregnant (no egg), and will no longer have a menstrual period. However, menopause does not occur at the same age for all women.
Why would you have to watch out if the flash of lightning and the sound of thunder seemed to occur together?
If thunder and lightning occur together close to you, you are dangerously close to a lightning bolt.
In what part of the brain does myelination occur last?
forebrain
For refraction to occur in a wave the wave must?
For refraction to occur in a wave, the wave must enter a new medium at an angle.
Does refraction occur only if rays are straight up and down?
No, refraction can occur whenever light rays pass through a medium with a different optical density. The amount of refraction depends on the angle at which the light rays enter the medium, not just if they are straight up and down.
Can light travel through prisms?
Yes light can travel through prisms. At some points it would occur total internal reflection and at some points there would be refraction of light.
Would refraction still occur if light did not change speed when passing from medium to another?
No, refraction occurs because light changes speed when passing from one medium to another. The change in speed causes the light wave to bend, resulting in refraction. If light did not change speed, refraction would not occur.
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 has to be different to allow refraction to occur?
Refraction occurs when light passes between materials of different optical densities, causing a change in its speed and direction. The change in speed must be coupled with a change in direction to enable refraction to occur.
Does refraction occur for both sound and light waves?
Refraction occurs for any waves, where there's a change in the medium.
In which of the following would refraction occur?
Refraction occurs when light passes through a medium with a different density, such as air to water or air to glass.
Why can we have refraction without dispersion but cannot have dispersion without refraction?
Refraction occurs when light travels through a medium with different optical density, causing a change in its speed and direction. This phenomenon can occur without dispersion, which specifically refers to the separation of light into different colors based on their wavelengths. Dispersion cannot occur without refraction because the bending of light during refraction is necessary for different colors to be refracted at different angles, leading to dispersion.
How does refraction occur in water?
It is because of the change in velocity of light in two different media.
When will reflection and refraction occur simultaneously?
Reflection and refraction occur simultaneously when a light ray encounters a boundary between two different mediums at a specific angle known as the Brewster's angle. At this angle, the reflected and refracted rays are perpendicular to each other, allowing both phenomena to occur simultaneously.
Is there a word for light refraction?
The word is rainbow. Rainbows occur when light is reflected inside droplets of water and then refracted out into the air.
