Atmospheric haze is due to water droplets or smoke particles (smog). Such haze reduces visibility by scattering
Question:
Atmospheric haze is due to water droplets or smoke particles (“smog”). Such haze reduces visibility by scattering light, so that the light from distant objects becomes randomized and images become indistinct. Explain why visibility through haze can be improved by wearing red tinted sunglasses, which filter out blue light.
Step by Step Answer:
The scattered light contains much more blue l...View the full answer

For this experiment take the bottle halves. Place the bottle upside down in another half of the bottle. Take a piece of cotton and put the cotton in the bottle first. Then pour sand into it. After adding sand pour fine activated charcoal. You can see the making of Homemade ACTIVATED CHARCOAL in the previous video. I’ll give you the link to the video in the description. After making a 1/2 Inch layer of charcoal put 1 inch of gravel layer and then put 2 inches of pebble layer. Repeat the layer-making process in the same manner once again. After this pour dirty water on the top of the bottle. The water we get at the end is free of impurities.
