NEET Physics Reflection MCQ Question
What occurs when the angle of incidence exceeds the critical angle for a ray transitioning from a denser to a rarer medium?
Total internal reflection occurs.
The ray refracts at 90 degrees.
The ray continues straight without bending.
The ray is absorbed by the medium.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
When the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle, total internal reflection occurs, which is a phenomenon noted in the explanation of critical angles in the context of ray optics.
