Question 14

A ray of light is incident on a boundary between glass and air.

Under which conditions is the ray of light totally internally reflected?

A

The ray, initially in the air, is incident on the air–glass boundary at an angle of incidence greater than the critical angle.

B

The ray, initially in the glass, is incident on the glass–air boundary at an angle of incidence greater than the critical angle.

C

The ray, initially in the glass, is incident on the glass–air boundary at any angle of incidence.

D

The ray, initially in the air, is incident on the air–glass boundary at any angle of incidence.
