In summer days, water is visible far away on the highway or road. But when you reach that distance, you do not find water there. Have you also experienced this during travel? Do you know why water is visible far away on the road or desert? Today we will tell you the reason behind this.
Why is water visible on the road?
When you go out on the road during summer days, you get the illusion of seeing water far away on the road. But when you reach that place, you do not find water there. As you move forward during the journey, you get the illusion that there is water on the road ahead. Let us tell you that such a situation is called mirage or some people also call it mirage.
Why is water visible in summer?
Let us tell you that the temperature is very high in the summer season. When sunlight falls on the roads, it gives the feeling of seeing water. Whereas water is not actually there, it is just an illusion of sight. Let us tell you that the reason for the formation of mirage is internal reflection. Because when sunlight passes through air of different temperatures, then due to the high temperature of the road, the light reflects due to the air. In simple language, the temperature of the road is high and the temperature above it is low. Due to this change in temperature, mirage is visible.
Where did the word mirage come from?
Now the question is why is the sight of water far away called mirage? Let us tell you that this word has come from Rajasthan. Actually Rajasthan is a desert area. In such a situation, when the deer feels thirsty during the summer in the desert, it keeps wandering in search of water in the desert. Not only this, due to sunlight, the deer sees shiny sand like water. Due to which it goes to that shiny sand again and again, when the deer reaches near the shiny sand, it does not find water there. On the contrary, the deer sees water far away, after which the deer again goes to that place where it has the illusion of seeing water. This is how the thirsty deer travels long distances in summer temperature. At the same time, deer is called Mrig in Sanskrit and mirage is called optical illusion. That is why it is called Mrig Mirage."https://www.abplive.com/gk/why-are-only-5-digit-codes-written-on-train-coaches-what-is-the-meaning-of-these-numbers-2702781">Train Coach: Why are only 5 digit codes written on train coaches, know what is the meaning of this number?
