This lecture discusses the phenomenon of total internal reflection in prisms, focusing on determining the minimum value of the refractive index for total internal reflection to occur. The instructor explains the concept using the laws of reflection and Snell's law, providing step-by-step calculations and conditions for total internal reflection. By the end of the lecture, students will have a clear understanding of the critical angle required for total internal reflection in prisms.
