Which of the following is an example of the Doppler effect?
A. Echo of sound
B. Bending of light around corners
C. Fusion of nuclei
D. Change in frequency of siren as ambulance passes
Answer: Option D

The phenomenon of mirage is due to
A. Dispersion
B. Reflection
C. Total internal reflection
D. Refraction and total internal reflection

Correct Answer: Option D


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.

Heat transfer in vacuum occurs by
A. Conduction
B. Radiation
C. Convection
D. Both conduction and convection

Correct Answer: Option B
