Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\): The law of reflection states that the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence—θ r =θ i . The angles are measured relative to the perpendicular to the surface at the point where the ray strikes the surface.

Total internal reflection is a phenomenon that occurs at the boundary between two mediums, such that if the incident angle in the first medium is greater than the critical angle, then all the light is reflected back into that medium. Fiber optics involves the transmission of light down fibers of plastic or glass, applying the principle of total internal reflection.
