Total internal reflection is a phenomenon which occurs when a propagating wave strikes a medium boundary at an angle larger than a particular critical angle with respect to the normal to the surface.

The critical angle (C) depends on the two media. If the angle of incidence is
greater than the critical angle, instead of refraction, reflection occurs. This is
known as total internal reflection.
