'Mirage' is a phenomenon due to

A
Reflection of light
B
Refraction of light
✓
Total internal reflection of light
D
Diffraction of light

✓

Answer

Correct option: C.

Total internal reflection of light

c
(c) 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.
