Total internal reflection occurs when light inside a transparent material strikes the walls at a shallow angle and all the light is reflected back into the material. This occurs when the index of refraction of the material and what surrounds it have the proper relationship. It is used in fiberoptics where the inner glass and the outer glass cause total reflection of light added at one end so almost all of it comes out the other end, having bounced off the walls numerous times. The easiest place for most people to see total reflection is in a swimming pool, where looking up from under water a person can see someone on the side of the pool above them, but if they look across the pool, the water has a silvery sheen as total reflection of all the light occurs at a shallow angle.

the effect of total internal reflection is that the light does not pass through more than one media, but rather bends and remains in one medium, due to the angle of reflection.

finished inner mirrored image occurs whilst the attitude of prevalence is greater then the excessive attitude. The excessive attitude equals the attitude of prevalence whilst the attitude of mirrored image equals ninety stages. finished inner mirrored image is utilized in fiber optics because of the fact the attitude of prevalence is often greater beneficial than the excessive attitude. I.E. gentle in no way escapes the fiber.
