1 Total internal reflection is the phenomenon which occurs when a propagated wave strikes a medium boundary at an angle larger than a particular critical angle with respect to the normal to the surface.

2 It refers to the complete reflection of a ray of light within a given medium …

Total internal reflection:

When the incident angle $Φ_1$ is higher than critical incident angle $Φ_c$ the whole path of the light is reflected back in the first medium. This is known as Total Internal Reflection (TIR).

$$Φ_1\gtΦ_c …………. Condition \ \ \ for \ \ \ TIR$$
