MCQ
One cannot see through fog because ..........?
  • A
    Fog absorbs light
  • B
    Refractive index of fog is unity
  • C
    Light suffers total internal reflection at the droplets in fog
  • D
    Light is scattered by the droplets in fog
✓

Answer

  1. Light is scattered by the droplets in fog

Explanation:

Atoms and molecules in the air, including anything carried in the air like dust or smoke, will scatter light. Water droplets, as they are present in fog, also scatter light.

The light falling on an object and reflected to a viewer can be scattered to heck and back before it gets to the place where it can be 'seen' by an observer.

So the observer just sees a 'whiteout' instead of being able to make out anything beyond a few meters or so.

A student has obtained an image of a well-illuminated distant object on a screen to determine the focal length, $\text{F}_{1}$  of the given spherical mirror. The teacher then gave him another mirror of focal length, $\text{F}_{2}$  and asked him to obtain a focussed image of the same object on the same screen. The student found that in order to focus the same object using the second mirror, he has to move the mirror away from the screen. From this observation it may be concluded that both the spherical mirrors given to the student were (select the correct option)
