Explanation / Answer
for total internal reflection to occur, light must travel from anoptically "denser" (higher refractive index) material to a lessoptically dense material. so you need to compare therefractive indexes of the material. n_diamond=2.419 n_carbon_tetrachloride=1.461 total internal reflection can occur. n_hydrogen=1.000132 n_crown_glass=1.5 total internal reflection cannot occur. n_ice=1.31 n-carbon_disulfide=1.628 total internal reflection cannot occur. n_carbon_tetrachloride=1.461 n_ice=1.31 total internal reflection can occur. n_hydrogen=1.000132 n-carbon_disulfide=1.628 total internal reflection cannot occur. n_water=1.33 n_hydrogen=1.000132 total internal reflection can occur.
