English to Turkish: What is a mirage?-Serap nedir? General field: Marketing
Source text - English
Have you ever looked along a smooth road in hot weather and seen what appears to be a stretch of water where none exists? This is a mirage. It is caused by the air being heated in such a way that hot layers of air lie under cold layers. The cold air is thicker than the hot air and this causes light passing trough the layers to be bent. This bending gives the illusion of water, or even sends a picture of the scene many miles away.
Mirages often occur in the desert. Lakes are seen where there is really nothing but sand. And sometimes images of towns and palm trees appear and taunt the thirsty traveller. The same thing happens at sea, when ghostly ships are seen floating in the sky.
It is easy to tell a mirage from the real thing, however, because the objects in it are all upside down. This is caused by the way the rays of light are bent.
Translation - Turkish
Hiç sıcak bir havada düz bir yol boyunca baktınız ve var olmayan bir su birikintisi gördünüz mü? Bu bir seraptır. Bu soğuk hava tabakasının altında bulunan, sıcak hava tabakası nedeniyle meydana gelir. Soğuk hava, sıcak havadan, daha kalındır. Bu hava tabakaları içinden geçen ışığın kırılmasına neden olur. Bu kırılma, su hayalini verir, ya da manzaranın bir görüntüsünü kilometrelerce uzağa gönderir.
Seraplar, çoğunlukla çöllerde meydana gelir. Aslında kumdan başka hiç birşey bulunmayan yerlerde göller görünür. Ve bazen palmiyelerin ve kasabaların hayali görünür ve susamış gezginle alay eder. Havada yüzen hayalet gemiler göründüğünde, aynı şey denizde olur.
Bir serabı, gerçek bir şeyden ayırmak kolaydır, çünkü içindeki cisimlerin, hepsi başaşağıdır. Bu, güneş ışınlarının kırılması nedeniyledir.
