Question 34. The intensity of Stokes’ lines is more than that of Anti-stokes’ line Is the statement true or false?
Answer: True

Question 35. Why can’t we see clearly through the fog? Name the phenomenon responsible for it.
Answer:

1. During fog, the light coming from an object is partly
   deflected by the particles of the fog and does not reach the
   eye of the observer.
2. For that reason, we cannot see the objects clearly through fog. This responsible phenomenon is called the scattering of light.
