Expansion and conduction – Did you know?

The video explains how heat haze occurs when air near the ground heats up, expands, and rises. This process bends and distorts light rays, creating a shimmering effect known as heat haze.

Can you explain what a heat haze is?

What happens to air close to the ground when it heats up?

How does heated air affect light rays passing through it?

What causes the shimmering effect observed in a heat haze?

What is the effect created by the bending and distorting of light rays in heated air?
