When light traveling from a lower refraction index material (like glass) to a higher refraction index material (like air), it is refracted away from the normal. Total Internal Reflection (TIR) is when light is reflected from the boundary as if it is a mirror.

Critical angle: At an angle of incidence called the critical angle, light is refracted so far from the normal that it runs along the boundary of the two substances. For any angles of incidence greater than this, there is no refracted ray.

Total Internal Reflection can be used to make glass appear invisible when viewed from a certain angle. Total Internal Reflection is used in fiber optics and can be used to transmit data over long distances without signal loss. It also explains why diamonds sparkle.

A lens is a transparent piece of plastic, glass or even jelly that is shaped to curve outwards or inwards. A lens refracts light and focuses it to form images in the eye and in devices such as cameras, telescopes, binoculars, microscopes, spectacles and contact lenses.

A lens that bulges outwards is called a convex lens. These lenses cause light rays to come together, or converge. If a convex lens is held close to an object, it can be used as a magnifying glass. In this case, it produces an upright and enlarged (magnified) virtual image.

When light reaches a convex lens from a distance, the convex lens can be used to focus the light on a screen to form an image. Light is focused to a point on a screen when you see a film at the movies. This is the type of image that is formed by the convex lenses in your eyes. This type of image is called a

A lens that curves inwards is called a concave lens. These lenses cause light to diverge, or spread out. They spread parallel light rays as though the rays have come from a point behind the lens. A concave lens only produces images that are smaller, upright and virtual. Because this image is virtual, we could not produce the image on a screen because the light does not really cross at this point.
