How many materials follows TOTAL INTERNLAL REFLECTION

[baba786]

Hi all ,it is my first post so sorry if I make any mistake ,we all know about the total internal reflection in which when we passed light in any material with an angle greater than the critical angle then it will bound or catch inside the light,

Now I want to prepare a list of the such ,material those follows TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION

1.GLASS
2.ACRYLIC
NOW PLEASE TELL ME MORE MATERIALS NAME

thanks in advance

sorry for bad English

It appears that you have not understood the scenario in which total internal reflection occurs, which made your question rather puzzling.

Figure out http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/phyopt/totint.html" it occurs (hint: look at the index of refraction of the 2 medium involved). Then see if your question here makes sense.

Hello and welcome to the scientific community! It's great to see someone interested in total internal reflection and materials that exhibit this phenomenon. To answer your question, there are actually many more materials that can exhibit total internal reflection besides glass and acrylic. Some other examples include:

3. Diamond
4. Water
5. Plastic (such as polycarbonate)
6. Quartz
7. Ice
8. Air (under certain conditions)
9. Sapphire
10. Ruby

There are also many more materials that can exhibit total internal reflection, depending on their refractive index and the angle at which light is entering them. I would recommend doing some research or consulting a materials science textbook for a more comprehensive list.

I hope this helps and happy exploring!
