Answer the following questions A. The critical angle for total internal reflection at a diamond-air interface is 25 degrees. Suppose the light falls at an angle to the normal. Then, total internal reflection will occur if the incident medium is: a) air and angle < 25 degrees b) air and angle > 25 degrees c) air and angle = 25 degrees d) diameter and angle > 25 degrees e) diamond and angle < 25 degrees B. A ray of light in water (index n1) hits its surface (with air) at a critical angle for total internal reflection. Now some oil (index n2) floats in the water.
