Does total internal reflection take place when a diamond is at any shape?
Added by Tricia H.
Step 1
It is a phenomenon that occurs when a light ray traveling through a medium with a higher refractive index encounters a boundary with a medium of lower refractive index at an angle greater than the critical angle. In this case, the light ray is reflected back into Show more…

What is the critical angle for total internal reflection for diamond in air? What, if anything, does the critical angle have to do with the luster of a well-cut diamond?
A diamond is immersed in a liquid with a refractive index greater than water. Then the critical angle for total internal reflection will
