Understanding Light and Optics
Understanding Light and Optics

Key Takeaways: Light, spanning 400nm to 700nm, is vital for vision, traveling at 3 X 10^8 m/s. Optics studies light-matter interactions, including reflection and refraction. Reflection follows the law of equal angles, while refraction obeys Snell’s Law. Total Internal Reflection occurs beyond a critical angle, reflecting light entirely. Understanding light and optics has broad applications […]

What is Total Internal Reflection (TIR)
Total Internal Reflection (TIR)

Key Takeaways Total Internal Reflection (TIR) is a physics phenomenon where light transitions from a denser to a less dense medium, causing it to reflect back into the denser medium at a specific angle called the critical angle.  This occurs when the angle of incidence exceeds the critical angle, resulting in total internal reflection rather […]
