Inferior Mirage Simulation with an Ethanol -Water Interface
A positive refractive index gradient at an ethanol/water interface in a small glass tank models similar positive refractive index gradients created by a layer of warm air above a calm sea. Inferior mirages (omega and hourglass sunsets) are simulated and photographed as the interface slowly diffuses....
