In total internal reflection when the angle of incidence is equal to the critical angle for the pair of media in contact, what will be angle of refraction?

Explain Total internal reflection OR Under what conditionsistotal internal reflection possible? Explain it with a suitable example. Define critical angle of incidence and obtain an expression for it.

Transmission by optical fibres is an important method in communications. By total internal reflection, light is made to travel only along the core. However, the intensity falls-off exponentially with distance and is given by, I = I_0 ^e-alphax , where alpha is absorption coefficient. Then te correct graph for intensity vs distance is
