Reflection

Images formed...

Question

Images formed by totally reflected light are brighter than the images formed by ordinary reflected light. Why?

Open in App

Solution

This is because in total internal reflection, 100% of incident light gets reflected. On the other hand, in ordinary reflection, 20% - 30% of incident light is lost. So, images formed in the first case are brighter than the images formed in the second case.
