Decide which statements are true and false about total internal reflection. True

Question

Decide which statements are true and false about total internal reflection. True False When light hits a boundary at less than the critical angle, it will undergo total internal reflection. Magnifying glasses are a practical application of the phenomenon of total internal reflection. A smaller critical angle means that total internal reflection is more likely to occur. Total internal reflection is more efficient than simple reflection of light off a silvered mirror, so prisms are often used in optical instruments to minimize light loss

Explanation / Answer

false statement ; when light hits boundary at less than critical angle it will undergo total internal reflection . because total internal reflection occur when angle of incidence is greater than critical angle

true statements

magnifying glasses are the application of total internal reflection

a smaller critical angle means that total internal reflection is more likely occur

prisms are often used in optical instruments to minimize light loss
