No. It's an example of the result of refraction ... curving of light on its waythrough the atmosphere, not necessarily requiring any reflection.
Gf
Not possible
Total internal reflection occurs when the angle of incidence with respect to the normal at the boundary to a less dense medium exceeds the critical angle.
No.

Mirage is a good example which is seen due to refraction of light and especially due to total internal reflection. ============================ A semi-opposing opinion: No reflection is required for the creation of a mirage, only refraction. ============================= Hope you might have heard about the conditions for total internal relection to take place. 1) Ray has to traverse from denser to rarer 2) the angle of incidence is to be more than critical angle of the denser medium So in such a case the refraction phenomenon cannot take place and so all the energy to be refracted is sent back to the denser medium itself. Hence named as total internal reflection. Of course total internal reflection is totally different from ordinary reflection.
Nope. It's caused by refraction.
periscope is an example of total internal reflection.
you can demonstrate total internal reflection using a light source and glass gratings.
