MCQ

The difference between reflection and total internal reflection is that

A
the laws of reflection hold true for reflection but not for total internal reflection
B
total internal reflection can take place only when light travels from a rarer medium to a denser medium while reflection can take place vice-versa also.
✓
reflection can take place when light. travels from rarer medium to denser medium and vice-versa but total internal reflection can take place only when it travels from an optically denser to an optically rarer medium
D
reflection is a natural phenomenon while total internal reflection is man-made.

✓

Answer

Correct option: C.

reflection can take place when light. travels from rarer medium to denser medium and vice-versa but total internal reflection can take place only when it travels from an optically denser to an optically rarer medium

c) reflection can take place when light travels from rarer medium to denser medium and vice-versa but total internal reflection can take place only when it travels from an optically denser to an optically rarer medium
