Question

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

Answer 1

answer is option D friend
refraction of light
but im not confirm that, "total internal
reflection of light" is correct or not.
please comment the wright answer
if i gave wrong answer please excuse me

Answer 2

The correct answer is option D) Refraction of light and total internal reflection of light.

Mirage is a phenomenon where light rays bend and produce a displaced image of distant objects.

Mirage is formed when temperature goes on decreasing as we go up in the atmosphere.  Therefore, density and refractive indices also change. As a result, rays of light get refracted and when a particular angle exceeds the critical angle, total internal reflection takes place. Therefore, we see and inverted image of, for example a tree in a pond of water.
