Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reflection and refraction of raindrops are not associated with inferior mirages, which are caused by the bending of light rays due to steep temperature gradients near the surface of the ground. The "puddle" of water on the road is a common example of an inferior mirage, where the appearance of water is an optical illusion created by the bending of light. Increasing density with height in the atmosphere is also a factor that contributes to the formation of an inferior mirage.
