Total Internal Reflection
12
Critical Angle?
16
Critical angle
17
Total Internal Reflection If the angle is bigger than the critical angle we get total internal reflection Copy please!
18
Total Internal Reflection Critical angle sin c = 1/η sin(critical angle) = 1/(refractive index)
19
Examples of Total Internal Reflection
25
Seeing and colours
26
We see things because light is reflected into our eyes
27
