What is total reflection in lighthouse optics?
When rays of light reach the second surface of a glass prism at an angle of incidence greater than the critical angle, refraction becomes impossible, and they suffer 'total' or internal reflection[1]. Instead of passing out of the prism into the air, they are sent back again into the substance of the glass[1].
