Explanation:
Mirage occurs due to refraction of light through air layers of different temperatures (densities) and total internal reflection when ray tries to go from denser to rarer medium at grazing incidence. It's an optical illusion, not real water.
Explanation:
Polarization possible only for transverse waves (oscillations ⊥ propagation). Longitudinal waves (sound) cannot be polarized. Memory aid: 'Polarization ⇒ transverse nature; light is EM transverse wave'. Wave property frequently tested in competitive exams.
