what is that weird “mirror” like effect on top of asphalt when it gets hot? What’s the science behind it?
In: 11
Because the asphalt is black is absorbs way more heat than the air. This heat is still being let off and heating the air just above it. That mirror like effect is your vision looking through heated air.
Imagine the air you see when you look above a heat source the swirly lines that ripple in the air
