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.
1 The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal to the reflection surface at the point of the incidence lie in the same plane.  The angle which the incident ray makes with the normal is equal to the angle which the reflected ray makes to the same normal.
