A beam of light propagating in medium A with index of refraction n (A) passes across an interface into medium B with index of refraction n(B). The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction; v(A) and v(B) denotes the speed of light in A and B. Then which of the following is true

In which one of the following cases will total internal reflection occur? A : Light is traveling through a material with a high degree of chromatic dispersion. B : Light is traveling in a material that has a larger index of refraction than material surrounding it. C : Light is traveling from a material that has a larger index of refraction into a material that has a smaller index of refraction. D : Light is traveling in a material that has a smaller index of refraction than material surrounding it.
