True or false: A ray of light within a medium of higher index of refraction comes to an interface with a medium of lower index of refraction at an angle greater than the critical angle. There is no light transmitted into the medium of lower index of refraction
This is the case of Total internal reflection. In this phenomenon, there is complete reflection of light into the medium of higher refractive index.
At angles lower than the critical angle, both reflection and refraction occurs in varying proportions; but at angles greater than the critical angle, only reflection occurs.
Thus the given statement is true.

When a light ray travels from a more dense medium to a less dense medium and the light ray intercepts the interface at some angle, the light ray will be deviated away from the normal to the interface. When the angle of the incident light ray is equal or greater than some critical angle , the light ray will be bent away from the normal unit the angle of refraction becomes 90, and total internal reflection occurs. The critical angle, , for two...
