Total internal reflection is the fundamental physics principle behind rainbows, the brilliance of diamonds, fiber optic cables, and other technologies.

When light is reflected the incident and reflected angles are equal. Specular reflection is from a smooth surface, and diffuse reflection from a rough surface.

In optics, Snell's law of refraction tells us that light is refracted, or bent, when it passes from one medium to another.
