A mirage occurs on a hot road due to the refraction of light in varying air temperatures. As the ground heats the air directly above it, the lower layers become significantly warmer than the air above, causing light rays to bend. This bending creates the illusion of water or a reflective surface on the road, giving the appearance of a mirage. Essentially, it's an optical phenomenon resulting from the temperature gradient between the ground and the air.

Why do distant objects ripple on a hot day?
Distance objects can be seen to "ripple" on a hot day because of refraction. As light from a distance object makes the trip to the observer, it passes through air of slightly varying densities. This causes it to "change course" to a degree, which is refraction. It is this thermally induced refraction that is responsible for the "ripple" we see, and for the mirage we sometimes hear about.

On a hot dry day light appears to reflect off a layer of water in the distance. what is the name of this phenomenon?
A mirage Light rays are bent to produce a displaced image of distant objects or the sky. Since water reflects a mirror image of the sky or the land around it, light bent while passing through a layer of hot air to produce a displaced image is easily interpreted by a person as a body of water in the distance - especially if they are thirsty and hoping to find water and thus somewhat inclined to see what they want to see.
