Question

In which of the following situations could total internalreflection occur? Choose all that apply. Going from carbondioxide to diamond. Going from diamond to fusedquartz. Going from carbontetrachloride to ethylalcohol. Going from oxygen to benzene. Going from ethylalcohol to carbondioxide. Going from iceto crystalline quartz. Going from carbondioxide to diamond. Going from diamond to fusedquartz. Going from carbontetrachloride to ethylalcohol. Going from oxygen to benzene. Going from ethylalcohol to carbondioxide. Going from iceto crystalline quartz. Going from oxygen to benzene. Going from ethylalcohol to carbondioxide. Going from iceto crystalline quartz.

Explanation / Answer

Total internal reflection can only occur where lighttravels from a medium with a higher n2 = higher refractive index toone with a lower refractive index[n1]. For example, it will occurwhen passing from glass to air, but not when passing from air toglass.
