PDE Q86
0. When the moon is near the horizon, then it appears bigger because of
- Option : A
- Explanation :
When the moon is near the horizon, the atmosphere bends light due to refraction, which makes the moon appear larger than when it's overhead.
A. Atmospheric refraction – Correct. Bending of light causes apparent enlargement.
B. Scattering of light – Incorrect. Responsible for color effects, not size.
C. Diffraction – Incorrect. Involves bending of light around objects, not relevant here.
D. Total internal reflection – Incorrect. Occurs in optics and water, not in this case.
