Assertion : In optical fibre, the diameter of the core is kept small. Reason : The small diameter of the core ensures that the fibre should have inside it an angle greater than critical angle needed for total internal reflection.

Sparking Brilliance of Diamond: The total internal reflection of the light is used in polishing diamonds to create a sparking brilliance. By polishing the diamond with specific cuts, it is adjusted the most of the light rays approaching the surface are incident with an angle of incidence more than critical angle. Hence, they suffer multiple reflections and ultimately come out of diamond from the top. This gives the diamond a sparking brilliance. A diamond is immersed in a liquid with a refractive index greater than water. Then the critical angle for total internal reflection will
