What else can I help you with?
Is light refracted when you see a mirage?
Yes, light is refracted in a mirage. A mirage is an optical illusion caused by the refraction of light as it passes through air layers of different temperatures. This refraction can create the appearance of water, which is not actually present.
What do you call when see water on the road but it's not there?
It is called a Mirage.There is a lot of information about the phenomenon on Wikipedia.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirage
When a hot dry day light appears to reflect off a layer of water in the distance what is the name of this Phenomenon?
This phenomenon is known as a mirage, where the light is refracted due to temperature variations in the air, creating an optical illusion of water.
An image that results from light rays that only apppear to be a certain location is called?
The most comon name for this is a mirage. Another such image, differently caused, is called a virtual image.
Can you stand in a rainbow and experience its vibrant colors?
No, you cannot stand in a rainbow and experience its vibrant colors because a rainbow is an optical illusion created by sunlight and water droplets in the atmosphere.
What is the opposite of mirage?
A mirage is an optical phenomenon that creates the illusion of water. I can't imagine an opposite of seeing an illusion.
What is an optical illusion caused by atmospheric conditions in which nonexistant bodies of water are seen?
It's called a Mirage (meee-rahhh-juh): an illusion created by light rippling in heat waves.
Can you suggest a sentence using the word Optic?
We could see the deer through our optic sights.
What is another name for optical illusion caused by atmospheric condition in which nonexistent bodies of water are seen?
A mirage is an optical illusion caused by atmospheric conditions. Light rays are bent to produce a displaced image of distant objects or the sky. A common mirage is a heat haze, On hot, sunny days, a shimmer on the road looks like pools of water. As you get closer, the image disappears.
Is light refracted when you see a mirage?
Yes, light is refracted in a mirage. A mirage is an optical illusion caused by the refraction of light as it passes through air layers of different temperatures. This refraction can create the appearance of water, which is not actually present.
What is a situation in which the eyes can mislead you?
Seeing a desert mirage, or looking at an optical illusion are two situations were your eyes can mislead you. On a hot, shimmering day, you may see what looks like pools of water on the road surface ahead - an optical illusion as the road ahead is dry..

What is it called when atmospheric conditions cause nonexistent bodies of water to be seen?
An optical illusion that is caused by atmospheric conditions in which nonexistent bodies of water are seen is commonly referred to as a mirage. This is most common in extremely hot climates, and although the most common mirage is of bodies of water, there are other illusions that may appear to a person, as well.
What is an optical illusion caused by atmospheric conditions?
A common optical illusion caused by atmospheric conditions is a mirage. A mirage occurs when light is refracted as it passes through air layers of different temperatures, creating a false image of distant objects, often seen as water on a road or desert. This phenomenon is a result of the bending of light rays, which can distort our perception of reality.
When a hot dry day light appears to reflect off a layer of water in the distance what is the name of this Phenomenon?
This phenomenon is known as a mirage, where the light is refracted due to temperature variations in the air, creating an optical illusion of water.
What optical illusion is created by putting a pencil into a clear cup of water?
it bends the light, making the pencil seem a different length
What is a mirage?
A mirage is an optical illusion caused by the bending of light rays due to temperature variations in the air. This bending creates false images of distant objects, such as water or oases, that appear to be real but are actually reflections. Mirage can occur in deserts, on hot roads, or over bodies of water.
