Question 28

A ray of light passes from a block of plastic into air. The critical angle for this plastic is 40∘40^\circ40∘.

Which statement is correct?

A

The angle of refraction is always smaller than the angle of incidence.

B

If the angle of incidence is 30∘30^\circ30∘, total internal reflection occurs.

C

If the angle of incidence is 50∘50^\circ50∘, the ray is totally internally reflected.

D

The angle of incidence is the angle between the light ray and the surface of the plastic block.
