Correct Answer: total internal reflection


Solution : The correct answer is total internal reflection .

Total internal reflection is the complete reflection of a light ray within a medium, like water, or glass, back into the same medium. This phenomenon occurs when the angle of incidence surpasses a critical angle. It typically happens at the interface of two transparent media, where the incident ray in the medium with a higher refractive index approaches the other medium at an angle greater than the critical angle.
