One of the necessary condition for total internal reflection to take place is ( $\mathrm{i}=$ angle of incidence, $\mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{c}}=$ critical angle)
  1. i $ < $ i $_{\mathrm{c}}$
  2. $\mathrm{i}=\mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{e}}$
  3. $\mathrm{i}=\frac{\pi^c}{2}$
  4. i $>$ i $_{\mathrm{c}}$

Solution

Conditions necessary for total internal reflection to take place are 1) Light must travel from a denser medium to a rarer medium. 2) The angle of incidence must be greater than the critical angle for the pair of media.
