Physics Question on Ray optics and optical instruments
�Mirage� is a phenomenone due to
A
total internal reflection of light
B
refraction of light
C
reflection of light
D
diffraction of light
Answer
total internal reflection of light
Explanation
Solution
Mirage is a phenomenon observed due to the total internal reflection of light when light travels from a denser medium to a rarer medium. When the angle of incidence of light is more than the critical angle for the two adjacent media, the light gets totally internally reflected.
