Distance objects can be seen to "ripple" on a hot day because of refraction. As light from a distance object makes the trip to the observer, it passes through air of slightly varying densities. This causes it to "change course" to a degree, which is refraction. It is this thermally induced refraction that is responsible for the "ripple" we see, and for the mirage we sometimes hear about.
What else can I help you with?
If hot is an adjective in It was a hot day What is very in It was a VERY hot day?
In this case, very is an adverb.
On a hot dry day light appears to reflect off a layer of water in the distance. what is the name of this phenomenon?
A mirage Light rays are bent to produce a displaced image of distant objects or the sky. Since water reflects a mirror image of the sky or the land around it, light bent while passing through a layer of hot air to produce a displaced image is easily interpreted by a person as a body of water in the distance - especially if they are thirsty and hoping to find water and thus somewhat inclined to see what they want to see.
Why does hot coffee make you cooler on the hot summer day?
It makes you sweat more and cools your blood
What was the weather like on September 12 1999?
It hot because sexy beasts were born hot on this day
Why buffaloes dip themselves in river in hot summer day?
Because they do not have sweat glands present in them hence they take a dip in the river in a hot summer day to cool themselves.
Why does a distant patch of road appear to be wet on a hot summer day?
A distant patch of road can appear wet on a hot summer day due to the heat rising from the heat road surface. It refracts (move, bend, or deflect) the image of the road in a wavy manner creating the illusion of water.
What type of thermometer can read the temperature of a distant body?
An infrared thermometer can measure the temperature of a distant body by detecting the infrared energy emitted by the object. These thermometers are useful for measuring the temperature of objects that are hot, moving, or difficult to reach.
Why are infrared sensors useful at night?
Infrared is heat and during the day other objects are hot besides bodies
How hot was Tenochtitlan?
it wasn't hot at all. It was equal distant from the equator than a modern Missouri
What can you deduce from stars that are hot but not very bright?
That they are distant or small
What could be the temperature at cold objects compared to hot objects?
Cold objects generally have lower temperatures compared to hot objects. The temperature of a cold object is typically below room temperature (20-25 degrees Celsius), while the temperature of a hot object is usually above room temperature. The temperature difference between cold and hot objects can vary depending on the specific temperature of each object.
Why are infrared sensors more useful at night?
Infrared is heat and during the day other objects are hot besides bodies
What is the type of electromagnetic waves are emitted by hot objects?
Hot objects emit infrared electromagnetic waves.
What could be the temperature of hot objects compared to cold objects?
Hot objects have a higher temperature than cold objects. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance, so hot objects have faster-moving particles than cold objects.
Does heat travel from cold objects to hot objects?
No, heat naturally flows from hot objects to cold objects. This is based on the second law of thermodynamics, which states that heat always moves in the direction that increases the entropy of a system.
What makes Ripple marks in sandstone may form by heat action of?
Ripple marks in sandstone can form due to the heat action of hot fluids or gases moving through the sedimentary layers. This process can cause the sand grains to align in a ripple pattern as the sediment is compacted and cemented into rock over time.
What is a kraft ripple cup?
Kraft ripple cups are made from kraft paper material. These are used primarily for hot beverages. The kraft material keeps the hands from burning. The ripple wall on the cups provides a firmer grip, therefore, avoiding any potential accidents. More information can be found from Anbao Group at anbaocup.com
