Question

explain the phenomenon of mirage in desert and looming in sea

Answer 1

Mirage occurs due to total internal reflection of light (TIR). When the sun is high in the sky, the sand gets heated first and then the layers of air above it. The rays from the trees travel from an optically denser air layer to a rarer layer and hence bend away from the normal.
