4. Critical angle is ……
A. an angle of incidence that will result in angle of refraction of 45o
B. an angle of refraction that is incident by a 90o light rays.
C. an angle of incidence that will result in angle of refraction of 90o
D. an angle of refraction that is incident by a 45o light rays.
7. Is it possible to have total internal reflection for light incident from air to water? Explain.
A. Yes. Because the light rays will refract away when it travels from air to water.
B. No. Because the light rays will refract away when it travels from air to water.
C. Yes. Because the speed of light is higher in the air than in the water. Thus, the light rays
will refract away when it travels from air to water.
D. No. Because the speed of light is higher in the air than in the water. Thus, the light rays
will refract towards the normal line when it travels from air to water.
