MIRAGE IS A OPTICAL ILLUSION CAUSED BY ATMOSPHERIC CONDITION.
AND IT APPEARS LIKE WATER HAS COVERED ON THE ROAD AT A DISTANT PLACE ,BUT ITS APPEARS THAT THERE IS NO WATER,THIS HAPPENS DUE TO VARIABLE REFRACTIVE INDEX AND TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION . SO THIS IS WHY IT APPEARS AS FLOWING WATER.

Answer:
- During hot summer day .that day the year just about the road surface is very hot and the air at higher altitude is cool. reflection Intex of air increase with density .so ,the cooler the top has greater reflection in text them water air just above the road. light travel faster through the thinner hot air them the denser cool air above it which will lead to total internal reflection and formed a mirror that appears has flowing water.
