Light — practice question

In the diagram, a ray of light in air strikes a glass block. Part of the light is refracted and part of the light is reflected. Two angles, $p$ and $q$, are labelled on the diagram. Which row identifies the angle of incidence and states whether total internal reflection takes place?

  • Aangle of incidence: $p$; total internal reflection: no
  • Bangle of incidence: $p$; total internal reflection: yes
  • Cangle of incidence: $q$; total internal reflection: no
  • Dangle of incidence: $q$; total internal reflection: yes
