ium to a morerefractive one, it will always be refracted, but not so whenit passes into a less refractivemedium, as when it passesfrom water or glass into air.In this case there is a limit tothe angle of incidence, beyondwhich refraction can not takeplace. To illustrate this, let BMC,Fig. 178,… … (290.) Explain the phenomenon of totai .eflectioD.13 2 DO POPULAR PHYSICS. L. 1 C, is small enough, it will be refracted from the normal,BA, and pass out into the air in some direction, AH.If, now, the angle of incidence exceeds 41°, as is the casewith the ray, IA, it can no longer pass the…
