Case · Answer 1

A

Explanation:

Scattering of light occurs when light passes through an imperfect medium (such as an ice block filled with bubbles). Each ray of light hit the medium differently and hence deflected differently from the rest. An example of a case scenario is during a hot dry day on tarmac that causes one to see a 'water pool' on the road due to mirage.
