What is a mirage?
What is a mirage? How is it formed? What are the inferior and superior mirages? What is Fata Morgana? In order to answer these questions, we need to understand some basic optics principles; refractive index, critical angles, total internal refraction...All answers and details are in the video.
Index of Refraction of Air was calculated by using Ciddor Equation for
Vacuum wavelength: 550 nm
Atmospheric pressure: 101.325 kilopascals [kPa]
50 relative humidity, percent
Carbon dioxide content: 409 ppm
