Anything greater than critical angle will cause the light to just be reflected.

What happens when the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle?
You get total internal reflection. That is, the incident beam bounces off the interface back into the medium.
When the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle all light within the material is?
hte light is reflected
What happens to the light ray when the angle of incidence is greater than the angle of total reflection?
it is not the angle of total reflection, it is the critical angle. and when the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle, total internal reflection takes place and as it is necessary for total internal reflection to take place that the ray must travel from denser to rarer medium so, when it occurs, the ray is reflected bach into the denser medium.
What happens to light that moves from glass to air when its angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle?
It does not move from glass to air but undergoes internal refraction. That is, it is refracted back into the glass at the interface.
How do you determine if the critical z value of a standard normal distribution is positive or negative?
Use the context: if the variable should be greater than the mean then z is positive and if less than the mean, it should be negative.
What is is the term for the phenomena observed when the incident angle is made greater than the critical angle?
Total internal reflection
What happens when the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle?
You get total internal reflection. That is, the incident beam bounces off the interface back into the medium.
Why critical angle for water is greater than the critical angle of glass?
Because of the difference in the density of the materials.
Can a nulcear bomb have a core greater than its critical mass?
Yes.
What if your need is greater than mine write an incident in your life when this statement has come to your mind what do you mean by this statement?
"Your need is greater than mine"
Is plutonium more powerful then uranium?
Plutonium is more dangerous: the specific activity is greater, the critical mass is smaller, the chemical toxicity is greater.
What is critical in determining whether something is produced a public good?
It is critical in determining whether something is produced a public good if the benefit is greater than the cost.
When and why the internal reflection occurs?
Total internal reflection occurs when a light hits its medium at an angle wider than a certain critical angle, depending upon what's normal to that medium. If the refractive index and the incident angle on the other side are measured lower or greater, respectively, the light is totally reflected.
What are the critical features of an inequality?
An inequality must have a greater than sign (>) OR a less than sign (<) OR a greater than or equal to sign (≥) OR a less than or equal to sign (≤).
How degree of under cooling affect the critical size of nucleus in case of homogeneous nucleation?
In general, the greater the degree of undercooling of a liquid melt, the smaller the critical radius of the nuclei formed.
When the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle all light within the material is?
hte light is reflected
What is a critical factor in determining whether something gets produced as a public good-?
A critical factor in determine whether something gets produced as a public good is if the benefits are are greater than the cost.
