A motor boy of a driver saw what seem to appear to be a pool of water a head of him, while his driver’s drives a new truck on a funny day. Which of the following explains his observation?

Answer Details

The correct answer is "The sun ray from the sky were passing from a hot air (layer) to cold layer". This is because the motor boy may have seen a mirage, which is a phenomenon where light is bent by the difference in temperature between a hot air layer near the ground and a colder layer of air above it. This bending of light can cause distant objects to appear to shimmer or appear as a pool of water on a hot day. This is a common occurrence in hot, desert regions where the air temperature is much higher near the ground than at higher altitudes.
