Total internal reflection can most accurately be described as...
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

a. reflection of all the light at a surface.

Explanation:

When light rays passing from the denser medium to the rarer medium and the angle of incidence is greater  than the critical angle, the refraction of light does not take place and the incident ray is totally reflected back  into the denser medium. This phenomenon is called total internal reflection.

There are two conditions that need to be fulfilled in order for the total internal reflection to take place:

1. The ray of light should be incident from denser to rarer medium.

2. The angle of incidence should be greater than the critical angle.

Therefore, the correct option will be:

<u>a. reflection of all the light at a surface.</u>

Match the layer of Earth with its characteristic.
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Asthenosphere -- drives the movement in the plates

<em>It is a weak and flexible part of the upper mantle of the planet Earth.</em>

<em>It is located below the lithosphere. The depth of it is between 200 and 80 kilometers below the surface. It is usually solid but in some regions it is fluid. The temperature dictates the thickness of the Asthenosphere.</em>

The Core -- the hottest layer of the Earth.

<em>The inner Core of the Earth is a layer that's located in the core of it.  By definition, it is a rock-hard ball that has the radius of 1,220 kilometers, making it 20% of the Earth's radius and 70% of the Moon's radius. The samples are not discovered. It is believed that it has the composition of iron-nickel infusion along with other elements. The temperature is appx. 5430 °C, which is similar to the temperature of the surface of the Sun.</em>

Mesosphere -- contains the lower mantle

<em>By definition, it comes from the Greek word mesos, which means '' middle ''.</em>

<em>It is the third layer of the Earth. It is located above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere. The higher the altitude,  the lower the temperature. It ends in the coldest part of the Earth, Mesopause. And it begins at the Stratosphere.</em>

Lithosphere -- contains the tectonic plates

<em>By the definition, it is also a word that came from the Greek language. It comes from the word '' lithos '' which means '' rocky ''.</em>

<em>It is a hard, outer part of the Earth.</em>

<em>On the planet Earth, it is made out of the crust of the upper mantle.  The rocks from the Lithosphere are elastic.</em>

<em>They are two types of Lithosphere -- the oceanic Lithosphere and Continental Lithosphere.</em>
