When a light ray travels from a denser medium (like glass or water) to a rarer medium (like air), it gets refracted away from the normal. As the angle of incidence increases, the angle of refraction also increases. At a certain angle of incidence, called the critical angle, the angle of refraction becomes 90 degrees, and the refracted ray travels along the surface separating the two media. If the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle, the light ray does not pass into the rarer medium but rather gets reflected back into the denser medium. This phenomenon is called total internal reflection.

Now, let's go through the given options and see which one best describes the behavior of light when the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle: (a) ahsortecel - This option appears to be a typo, and it is unclear what it is supposed to mean. So we can eliminate this option. (b) retlected - Another typo. It appears to be 'reflected'. The light does get reflected in this situation, but since this specific phenomenon is called total internal reflection, let's check if there's a better option. (c) amplified - Amplification refers to increasing the amplitude or intensity of a wave. This is not what happens in this situation. So, this option can be eliminated. (d) Fefracted - This option is a typo for 'refracted.' Refraction takes place when light passes from one medium to another but does not describe the situation when the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle. Since none of the other options accurately describe the phenomenon of total internal reflection when the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle, (b) retlected (reflected) would be the best choice, even though it would be better to have 'totally internally reflected' as an option. So, the correct answer is: (b) retlected
