There are two conditions necessary for total internal reflection, which is when light hits the boundary between two mediums and reflects back into its original medium:

Light is about to pass from a more optically dense medium (slower) to a less optically dense medium (faster).

The angle of incidence is greater than the defined critical angle for the two mediums, which is given by:

θ = sin⁻¹(n_{fast}/n_{slow})

Where θ = critical angle, n_{fast} = refractive index of faster medium, n_{slow} = refractive index of slower medium.

Choice C gives one of the above necessary conditions.

What is a cyclotron??<br> What is cyclotron frequency?
timurjin [86]

Answer:

A cyclotron is a type of particle accelerator.

Explanation:

Cyclotron frequency is the frequency of a charged particle moving perpendicular to the direction of a uniform magnetic field B, since that motion is always circular, the cyclotron frequency is given by equality of centripetal force and magnetic Lorentz force.
