As we saw in the video in step 1, total internal reflection can occur for cases where a light ray attempts to travel from a high index to low index medium. However, it can only occur for particular ranges of incident angles. The lowest possible incident angle for which total internal reflection occurs is called the critical angle. With = 1.50 and n₂ = 1.00, use the simulation to find the critical angle (in degrees). 1₂ Play around with different values of n₁, 7₂, and 8₁. Try to find the critical angle for different values of n₁ and n₂. Note that total internal reflection is only possible in cases where n₁ > ₂. 1'
