Understanding optical phenomena and their underlying principles is crucial in physics-based questions. Total internal reflection is a phenomenon where light travelling from a denser medium to a rarer medium, at an angle greater than the critical angle, is reflected back into the denser medium.
Mirage formation is the example of - Refraction - Diffraction - Total internal reflection - Dispersion
