Consider a light ray passing from denser into a rarer medium. The light ray after refraction
bends away from the normal. If the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle, then the
light ray is totally reflected into the denser medium. This phenomenon is called total internal
reflection

When light travels from denser to rarer medium then if the angle of incidence at the interface is greater than the critical anglethen the light ray instead of refracting gets totally reflected without any refraction, this phenomenon is called as Total Internal Reflection.
