What is Total Internal Reflection?
It's a thing that exists, apparently.
Actually, it's a phenomenon where light bounces off a surface at a 90-degree angle, creating a glare that can blind and confuse the unwary.
But fear not, dear reader, for Total Internal Reflection is also a powerful tool in the world of optics and engineering.
Why is it so useful?
- It makes really pretty pictures when used in art projects.
- Helps in the creation of fancy laser pointers.
- Is essential for the functioning of those fancy new smartphones.
