  • Mirage on a Nebraska road.
    Caution, loud music!
    The idea that a mirage is an example of total internal reflection (not refraction) appears to be a commonly held misconception.
    Instead, it is an example of “index gradient reflection.” en.m.wikipedia...

    It’s early dawn in the desert. The sky is starting to glow with light but the sun is still yet to rise. You’re standing there, looking at an ordinary desert bush. You’re struck by its geometric beauty, the mathematical precision of its fractally-arranged leaves. You feel an impulse to reach out. You run your fingers through its little green leaves. They feel spikey and alive.

    rain before a severe storm, if 1 inch of rain dripped down in nebraska, it can make a very dangerous solution that caused by flooding or a thunderstorm.
    in the next day, without the thunder rain clouds, clear skies that make it a difference that if the rain stopped, people driving in highways can see a mirage on the road, when it's the illusion that is so obscure and hidden to see it, it can make it disappear into the road to create the illusion that many people see what they are seeing in rain water covered roads after a rain storm.
    i know about weather, like thunderstorms and maybe as such tornado alley in the great plains.
    but it's crazy, seeing these types of illusions from earth and the human eye that makes it hard to see what the mirage can disappear when it's gone... or not.

  • @rakshithr9070

    Mirage occurs due to total internal reflection... When the angle of i exceeds critical angle this phenomenon occurs. you could basically also find this in your pool on a bright summer day... As the air above the Ground is denser (less temp) and air near the ground is rarer (more temp)..as the light ray passes from Denser to a rarer medium TOI occurs!!! Hope so this helped ! :)
