Mirage is an example of
A) Reflection of light & Refraction of light
B) Dispersion of light
C) Total Internal Reflection
D) Refraction of light & Total Internal Reflection of light
Answers
Answer: The correct option is C) Total Internal Reflection
Explanation:
The naturally occurring optical phenomenon in which light rays bend together in order to produce a displaced image of distant objects or the sky is called a Mirage.
It is an optical illusion. It is generally observed in deserts or hot summer days. Owing to this, a person visualises a pond of water some distance ahead of him. Also, the surrounding objects appear inverted.
Mirage occurs when the temperature of other layers of atmosphere decreases considerably as we go up. When density and refractive index of air changes, the rays of light gets refracted more and more away from the normal.
