Solution

The correct option is D
statement 1 is correct, but statement 2 is incorrect

Since hot air is less dense than the cold air. So light rays when entering, from hot air to cold air, undergoes refraction and bends .Thus object when seen through hot air appears to flicker.

so , statement 2 is wrong. But statement 1 is correct.

Q. Statement 1: The apparent position of an object keeps fluctuating when seen through media of varying density.

Statement 2: As the refractive index of a medium changes with density, the path of light reaching our eyes also changes.

Q. Hotter air : ____ refractive index : : cooler air : _____ refractive index

Statement 1: on a hot day a straight road from a distance appears wet. This happens because of refraction.

Statement 2: on a hot day the air above the road in contact with the road is hotter and less dense therefore has less refractive index than the cool air above it. When light comes through denser medium to rarer medium(here cooler air to hotter air) it is internally reflected which makes the road appear wet and shiny.

Which has a higher refractive index, cooler air or hotter air?
