Which of the following explains why air isnot visible?(A) It is nearly a perfect transparentsubstance.(B) It neither absorbs nor reflects light.(C) It transmits whole of light.(D) All of these.

Answer» <p>answer is D) all of theseAir is transparent because air contains so few atoms, light waves run into very few of them when they shine through air. The molecules of air are smaller than the wavelength of the light. Due to this reason, particles of air weakly interact with visible light and reflect little or no light to our eyes.Transparent material allows all the light to pass through it. In other words transmission is the property of light to permit the passage of light with some or none of the incident light being absorbed or scattered in the process. Since, air is transparent, it transmits almost whole of light.</p>
