  1. Total internal reflection can not take place when light goes from :
    1. glass to water
    2. water to glass
    3. water to air
    4. glass to air
Correct Option: B

For total internal reflection to occur the light must travel from a dense medium to a less dense medium (e.g. glass to air or water to air). It will not happen for light traveling from water (n=1.333) towards glass (n=1.52).
