Physics - Light(diamond)

anpanman SG

The depth of the pavilion plays a pivotal role in how light gets reflected internally and thus how bright a diamond sparkles. Explain how a diamond with a shallower pavilion will not shine as brightly as one with a deeper pavilion.

Less light gets reflected out?
