Option 1 : Both i & ii

CONCEPT:

Total internal reflection (TIR): 

  • Total internal reflection (TIR) occurs at the interface of two transparent medium when the ray of light travels from a denser medium to a rarer medium.
  • The critical angle is the angle of incidence in the denser medium for which the angle of refraction in the rarer medium is 90°.

EXPLANATION:

  • From above it is clear that the critical angle is the angle of incidence at which the total internal reflection starts. Therefore statement 1 is correct.
  • And according to the law of reflection, Angle of reflection = Angle of incidence. Therefore statement 2 is correct.
