Crushing particles of solute. The more surface area of the solute exposed to the solvent the faster the solute will dissolve and react with the solvent
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.

if it were located ten parsecs (about 32.6 light years) from us. So it's
a way of treating all stars equally ... on a "level playing field" ... and it
describes each star's actual brightness. </span>
