  • What is refraction?
    When light enters a medium and bends due to a change in speed.
  • What is the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction?
    As the angle of incidence increases, the angle of refraction also increases
  • What is TIR?
    When a ray of light is increased past the critical angle, causing the light to reflect
  • What are the conditions needed for TIR?
    Light must be travelling towards a lower optical density
    Angle of incidence > Critical angle
