What happens to light when it exceeds the critical angle while moving from a denser to a less dense medium?
💡 Hint: Consider what happens when light can’t pass through.
True or False: The critical angle depends on the refractive indices of the two media.
💡 Hint: Reflect on how these indices are related.
