Why is light rafracted when you see a mirage?
Layer of air at different temperatures refracts ("bends") light at different angles. Cold air is more dense than warm, and refracts light at a greater angle. Actually, it is the boundary between layers that does the refracting--poke a stick into a pool of water [or a pencil into a bowl of water] and observe the "broken" appearance. In the atmosphere, this can cause an image to appear "above" its actual location, usually upside down.
Who's formulated the Snell's law?
it states that the ratio of sine of angle of incidence/sine of angle of refraction=constant, for the light of given color and given pair of medium. where n1 and n2 are the indices of refraction of light in different materials.
