Answers (1)

best_answer

Some difference between reflection and internal reflection is given below

 

Sr.No reflection

total internal reflection
1 It takes place only when light passes from a denser medium to a rarer medium

 Reflection of light rays occurs when a light ray travels from 

A) a lighter medium to a denser medium.

B) a denser medium to a rarer medium
2 Total internal reflection occurs only if the angle of incidence is more than the critical angle between the two media.

Reflection occurs for any angle of incidence between 0° and 90°
3 Total internal reflection depends on the refractive indices of both 

Reflection of light does not depend on the refractive index of the medium on which it is incident. 
4 Total internal reflection occurs only when some conditions are met.

Reflection of light rays occurs at any boundary between two optical media
