Halo and mirage demonstrations in atmospheric optics

Name: Work Video:
Duration: 3 min 30 s
Description: Some laboratory demonstrations on atmospheric optics are presented. The focus is on dispersion effects in mirages, lateral mirages, and inferior mirages produced with small hot plates. We also show a demonstration of the upper-tangent-arc halo, produced with a hexagonal prism, rotating about two axes.
