Q

The absolute refrective index, n, of a medium

A

is the radio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in the medium

Q

Total internal reflection

A

occurs at angles of incidence above the critical angle, when all the light is reflected inside the denser medium and no light escapes
