Explanation :

When the ray of light from underwater strikes the smooth surface of the water at an angle of incidence greater than the critical angle, then total internal reflection occurs (TIR). The ray of light must pass from the denser medium to rarer medium.

When the angle of incidence is equal to 90, the angle formed is called critical angle.

In this case, the diagram (D) shows the angle of incidence greater than the critical angle and hence TIR occurs.

What is the difference between vector and scalar ?
ddd [48]
The easiest, non-technical way to think about it is like this:

-- A scalar is a quantity that has a size but no direction.
Those include temperature, speed, cost, volume, distance, etc.

One number is all there is to know about it, and there's no way you can
add more of the same stuff to it that would cancel both of them out.

-- A vector is a quantity that has a size and also has a direction.
Those include force, displacement, velocity, acceleration, etc.

It takes more than one number to completely describe one of these.
Also, if you combine two of the same vector quantity in different ways,
you can get different results, and they can even cancel each other out.

Here are some examples.  Notice that in each of these examples,
every speed has a direction that goes along with it.  This turns the
scalar speed into a vector velocity.

If you're walking inside a bus, and the bus is driving along the road,
then your velocity along the road is the sum of your walking velocity
inside the bus plus the velocity of the bus along the road.

-- If you're walking north up the middle of the bus at 2 miles per hour
and the bus is driving north along the road at 20 miles per hour, then
your velocity along the road is 22 miles per hour north.

-- If you're walking south towards the back of the bus at 2 miles per hour
and the bus is driving north along the road at 5 miles per hour, then your
velocity along the road is 3 miles per hour north.

-- If you're walking south towards the back of the bus at 2 miles per hour
and the bus is just barely rolling north along the road at 2 miles per hour,
then your velocity along the road is zero.

--  If you're in a big railroad flat-car that's rolling north along the track
at 2 miles per hour, and you walk across the flat-car towards the east
at 2 miles per hour, then your velocity along the ground is 2.818 miles
per hour toward the northeast.
