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.

What is optical 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.
How does the wavelenth changes when light travel from ane optical medium to another optical medium?
Diamond (solid)
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
Is there any phase change occurred when sound wave refracted from denser medium to a rarer medium?
NO
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
What is optical 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 the angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction when light passes from a less dense to denser medium?
If you meant optical density by the term 'denser ' Then the answer is.... The light bends towards normal when it travels from a optically less dense medium to optically dense medium. So angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction
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 storage medium is stored as Light reflecting from pits and lands?
Optical Storage Medium

What is an optical storage medium such as a CD or DVD?
An Optical Disk
What is mean by denser medium?
-- If you're talking about physical density, then a more-dense substance hasmore mass than a less-dense one has in the same volume.-- If you're talking about optical density, then a more-dense medium has ahigher refractive index (the speed of light is lower in it) than a less-dense one.Higher optical density does not necessarily also mean higher optical density,although I don't have a specific example to give you.
What two mediums have to be present for total internal reflection?
Any two media having different optical densities is necessary. The conditions for total internal reflection are: 1. Light must travel from the optically denser medium to the optically less dense one. 2. The angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle, which is the angle of incidence in the optically denser medium for which the angle of refraction is 90o.
Is it possible to achieve total internal reflection if the object is in rarer medium?

NO
What happenend light from rarer to denser medium?
It slowed down.
