you have some mirage stuff going on with atmosphere, and some refraction.
you still have an atmospheric weight per area applying a pressure on the atmosphere below it
its not about applying pressure, its trying to see thru atmosphere that causes distortion the more you look thru
wavelengths are irelevant
why we have limited sight distances
they will bend the same no matter what
altho there is the effect of chromatic aberation
wich is where the refractive index depends on wavelength
well, we also have limited human sight, we can only see so far
there is no single function for this
its all measured
is there some conspiracy about refraction?
if flat earth existed then the horizon should be above eye level
I generally push one or so conspiracies, not stuff that isn't really debatable...
(ignoring haze)
horizon is at eye level
no matter how high you go
@Σ5 no no no, imagine I split a white ray of light and shine it across the horizon, if what Kevin says is true then certain colours must bend more
Each color has a different wavelength, and it bends differently from all other colors. Short wavelengths are slowed more sharply upon entering glass from air than are long wavelengths. Red light has the longest wavelength and is bent the least. Violet light has the shortest wavelength and is bent the most.
it stays at eye level because we live on flat earth
well, that is smart, ignore the one flat earther in the room
no ignore the troll in the room
its not a law that shorter wavelengths are bent more
time to ignore sigma 5
there are cases where its the longer one that does so
They do bend more... Google it
moronic
its kinda hard to search for such a thing but il try
what?
there is no single equation for a material and the refractive index of wavelength curve
its all directly measured
there is your example
Google how wavelength affects refractive index
Yup see
@Σ5 what is this?
@dumblebore 🌈 science
didn't ask u
thats a graph of refractive index of wavelength
of a specific material
