The formation of a mirage is shown in the model here. To the observer, the image appears to be coming from the straight line, when in fact it is coming from an angled source. What BEST explains the observer and the mirage?
Responses
A Light reflects from the surface of the ground at a unique angle, forming a mirage. Light reflects from the surface of the ground at a unique angle, forming a mirage.
B Light refracts and speeds up as it moves through air with more moisture, causing a mirage. Light refracts and speeds up as it moves through air with more moisture, causing a mirage.
C Light refracts and bends as it moves through air at different temperatures, causing a mirage. Light refracts and bends as it moves through air at different temperatures, causing a mirage.
D Light refracts into different wavelengths as it becomes more intense as the observer moves closer.
