does heat effect light

[Gajbhiye_Akash]

whenever we see a hot body or something burning we can see a shaking background. it is because licht changes it path while crossing that hot region.like gravatational feild effect light. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><strong><font size="3" color="#0000ff">E=MC^2</font></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p> </div>

In the case of the pool, the light is distorted by the varying angles between the water surface and the air.&nbsp; In the case of the hot body, the distortions are caused by the varying angles between rippled layers of air of different temperatures. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
