Mirage, in optics, the deceptive appearance of a distant object or objects caused by the bending of light rays (refraction) in layers of air of varying density. Under certain conditions, such as over a stretch of pavement or desert air heated by intense sunshine, the air rapidly cools with.
Mirages and other atomospheric optic phenomena - HyperPhysics
Mirages. Mirages are produced by atmospheric refraction and are mainly seen in settings where there are large variations in the air temperature, such as in deserts or over cold bodies of water. The refraction which occurs near the Earth's surface is mainly due to temperature gradients where the light rays will be bent toward the cooler side of ...
Mirage - Wikipedia
A mirage is a naturally-occurring optical phenomenon in which light rays bend via refraction to produce a displaced image of distant objects or the sky. The word comes to English via the French (se) mirer , from the Latin mirari , meaning "to look at, to wonder at".
