Solution
- Total internal reflection: The phenomenon due to which a ray of light, while traveling from an optically denser medium to an optically rarer medium, gets reflected into the optically denser medium, at the surface of separation is called total internal reflection.
- The top surface of water contained in a beaker and held above eye level appears silvery because the light gets totally internally reflected at the water-air interface.
