Light — practice question

The diagram illustrates a ray of light in air striking a glass block. Part of the light is refracted and part is reflected. The diagram labels two angles, $p$ and $q$. Which row identifies the angle of incidence and says whether total internal reflection occurs?

  • 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
