Mirage is due to

  • A.Unequal heating of different parts of the atmosphere
  • B.Magnetic disturbances in the atmosphere
  • C.Depletion of ozone layer in the atmosphere
  • D.Equal heating of different parts of the atmosphere

Answer: A

A mirage is due to unequal heating of different parts of the atmosphere.

Air close to hot ground becomes less dense and optically rarer, so a vertical gradient of refractive index is set up. Light from the sky bends gradually as it descends through the layers and is finally reflected totally, giving the appearance of water on the road.
