How many materials follows TOTAL INTERNLAL REFLECTION

AI Thread Summary
Total internal reflection occurs when light passes from a medium with a higher refractive index to one with a lower refractive index at an angle greater than the critical angle. Common materials that exhibit total internal reflection include glass and acrylic. The discussion highlights the need to understand the refractive indices of materials to determine if they can support this phenomenon. Participants are encouraged to explore resources that explain the conditions for total internal reflection. Understanding these principles is crucial for identifying additional materials that exhibit this optical behavior.

Hi all ,it is my first post so sorry if I make any mistake ,we all know about the total internal reflection in which when we passed light in any material with an angle greater than the critical angle then it will bound or catch inside the light,

Now I want to prepare a list of the such ,material those follows TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION

1.GLASS
2.ACRYLIC
NOW PLEASE TELL ME MORE MATERIALS NAME

thanks in advance

sorry for bad English

It appears that you have not understood the scenario in which total internal reflection occurs, which made your question rather puzzling.

Figure out http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/phyopt/totint.html" it occurs (hint: look at the index of refraction of the 2 medium involved). Then see if your question here makes sense.

Thread 'A quartet of epi-illumination methods'

Well, it took almost 20 years (!!!), but I finally obtained a set of epi-phase microscope objectives (Zeiss). The principles of epi-phase contrast is nearly identical to transillumination phase contrast, but the phase ring is a 1/8 wave retarder rather than a 1/4 wave retarder (because with epi-illumination, the light passes through the ring twice). This method was popular only for a very short period of time before epi-DIC (differential interference contrast) became widely available. So...

Thread 'Effective absorption coefficient of gold nanoparticles'

I am currently undertaking a research internship where I am modelling the heating of silicon wafers with a 515 nm femtosecond laser. In order to increase the absorption of the laser into the oxide layer on top of the wafer it was suggested we use gold nanoparticles. I was tasked with modelling the optical properties of a 5nm gold nanoparticle, in particular the absorption cross section, using COMSOL Multiphysics. My model seems to be getting correct values for the absorption coefficient and...
