Answer:
Mirage is an optical illusion due to the refraction of light as it travels through different layers of air at different temperature.
Explanation:
On a clear hot afternoon, the sun heats up the ground, and the ground heats up the air immediately above it. The result is that the air directly above the ground is hotter than the air above it, leaving the air layers with different refractive indies. Since refractive index decreases with increase in temperature, the air immediately above the ground bends the light that travels through it from the sky, directly into our eyes. The image seen is perceived to be reflected from the ground, but in an actual sense is a direct image of the sky, giving one the impression of seeing a pool of water on the ground.
Answer:
carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen
By unplugging unused devices, by turning off any unused lights, and by switching your lightbulbs to something more energy efficient.
Thermal energy gives the particles of the substance kinetic energy because temperature is an average measure of kinetic enegy of the particle. If we give them thermal energy the particle will move faster, gaining enough energy to escape and become free. For example, from solid to liquid, the particles would espace their fixed position and be free to move as a liquid.
