Have you ever travelled on a sunny afternoon and seen water shining on the road ahead—only to find nothing when you get closer? That amazing optical illusion is called a mirage. In this video, we’ll explore how mirages form and uncover the science behind them. You’ll learn: Why air near the road and air above it have different temperatures. How changes in air density and refractive index bend light rays. What role refraction and total internal reflection play in creating the illusion. Why we see reflections of the sky or even inverted trees on the road. By the end, you’ll understand how light tricks our eyes and creates this natural illusion!
