Abstract

Indonesia with its characteristics of both seasons, namely the rainy season and the dry season. During the rainy season, the highway often becomes slippery and watery due to rainwater. However, in summer we often see the same phenomenon on the highway when the hot sun hits. This phenomenon is an optical illusion that is often referred to as a mirage. Mirages are puddle-like shadows seen on highways caused by light refraction due to differences in the density of the medium of different air layers, namely a layer of hotter air with a cooler layer of air on top. In this illusory phenomenon, the refraction of light forms a refractive angle of 90° or commonly called a critical angle, so that the incoming light rays are no longer refracted but reflected perfectly.
