When a passing through a lens,will there any reflection on the surface of it?

Drakkith · Feb 13, 2014

Absolutely. The amount of light reflected from the surface depends on the angle of incidence along with other factors such as whether the lens has any anti-reflection coatings or not.

Thanks.And I want to ask if there any light propagate to the other side of the lens when total internal reflection occurs?

No. Total reflection really is total
