hlo here is ur ur answer .

MIRAGES : mirage is an optical illusion where it appers that water has collected on the road at a distant place.

FORMATION OF MIRAGES :

1. when the light from a tall object such as tree or from the sky passes through a medium just above the road then the refractive index of light decreases towards ground .

2. It undergoes refraction and takes a curved path because of total internal reflection .

3. when this light reaches the observer then it appers as if it is reflected from the ground .

4. Hence , we feel the illusion of water beign present on road which is the virtual image of the sky called mirage .
