[19] At is the reason for formation of Mirage in desert?
A.
Refraction of light
B.
Reflection of light
C.
Total internal reflection of light
D.

Ans:
Total internal reflection of light
Explanation :
The mirage is caused by the total internal reflection of light at layers of air of different densities. In a desert, the sand is very hot during day time and a result the layer of air in contact with it gets heated up and becomes lighter. The lighter air rises up and the denser air from above comes down. As a result, the successive upper layers are denser than those below them.

A hydrogen bond is a weak type of force that forms a special type of dipole-dipole attraction which occurs when a hydrogen atom bonded to a strongly electronegative atom, exists in the vicinity of another electronegative atom with a lone pair of electrons.

A.
Refraction of light
B.
Reflection of light
C.
Total internal reflection of light
D.
Both Refraction and Total internal reflection of light
Ans:
Total internal reflection of light
Explanation :
The mirage is caused by the total internal reflection of light at layers of air of different densities. In a desert, the sand is very hot during day time and a result the layer of air in contact with it gets heated up and becomes lighter. The lighter air rises up and the denser air from above comes down. As a result, the successive upper layers are denser than those below them.
