The wire that carries the current from the power source to the outlet or receptacle is the hot wire. Whenever you see a black wire, you know it is hot. There are other wires that carry current in more complicated circuits, but black are always hot.
The minimum angle at which total internal reflection occurs is known as the critical angle (for Perspex this is about 43Ë). At any angle greater than the critical angle, total internal reflection occurs and the light ray obeys the normal rules for reflection (i.e. angle of incidence = angle of reflection). 1  Page. 2  1. 3  2.
See Article History. Critical angle, in optics, the greatest angle at which a ray of light, travelling in one transparent medium, can strike the boundary between that medium and a second of lower refractive index without being totally reflected within the first medium.
