#ColdAirAndLight: Hey there! ❄️ Have you ever wondered how cold air affects light? I have been pondering this question lately and I’m curious to learn more about it. Can cold air cause distortions in light, similar to how hot air does with heat? 🤔 How extreme would the effects be? And most importantly, how would it actually look like?
I’ve only come across information about what happens to heat in cold conditions, but not the other way around. 🌡️ I’m intrigued to dive deeper into this topic and explore the unique interactions between cold air and light. ✨
So tell me, have you ever noticed any interesting effects of cold air on light? Let’s dive into this together and uncover some fascinating insights! 💡 #CuriousMind #ScienceExploration
It’s not the heat itself that causes the distortions, it is the difference in air temperature and them chaotically mixing. Light travels slightly differently between hot and cold air, so having the two swirl around each other is what causes the distortion–if you had perfectly still hot air, you would not get this effect, and similarly, there’s no ‘cold air distortion’ that isn’t just the above.
