    The crystal of diamond shines due to:

    A)  high density

    B)  total internal reflection

    C)  crystal lattice

    D)  none of the above

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The faces of diamond are cut in such a way that whenever light falls on any of the face, the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle, that is\[{{24}^{o}}\]. So, when light falls on diamond, it suffers repeated internal reflections. When this reflected light emerges out, one gets the diamond sparkle.
