Answer:

critical angle is the angle of incidence in optically denser medium, for which the angle of reflection in the less denser medium is 90 degree

Step-by-step explanation:

total internal reflection occurs at one particular angle of incidence where the reflected ray lies on the boundary.

this angle is called the critical angle
