Q-5)   Consider the following natural phenomena:
  1. Terrestrial heating
  2. Reflection of light
  3. Refraction of light
  4. Diffraction of light
Due to which of these phenomena is a mirage formed ?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Convection currents of hot air rising off a surface have a lower density than the air directly above it.

The difference in density cause light passing through the air to refract differently, which causes the formation of mirage.
