For a light ray to undergo total internal reflection, light must travel from $(i = \text{angle of incidence}, i_C = \text{critical angle})$

  • A
    rarer to denser medium and $i < i_C$
  • B
    denser to rarer medium and $i < i_C$
  • C
    denser to rarer medium and $i > i_C$
  • D
    rarer to denser medium and $i > i_C$
