Total Internal Reflection (TIR) in Physics

When waves arriving at the interface from one medium to another are refracted into the second medium

When waves arriving at the interface from one medium to another are absorbed by the second medium

When waves arriving at the interface from one medium to another are completely reflected back into the first medium (correct)

When waves arriving at the interface from one medium to another are scattered in both media

When waves are incident at a right angle on the interface and the second medium has a lower wave speed than the first

When waves are incident at a right angle on the interface and the first medium has a lower wave speed than the second

When waves are incident at a sufficiently oblique angle on the interface and the first medium has a higher wave speed than the second

When waves are incident at a sufficiently oblique angle on the interface and the second medium has a higher wave speed than the first (correct)

The waves undergo total internal reflection

The angle of refraction is less than the angle of incidence

There is no change in the angle of refraction compared to the angle of incidence

The angle of refraction is greater than the angle of incidence (correct)
