B)mirages
C)chromatic aberration
D)light scattering

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chromatic aberration is the effect caused by the variation of refractive index with wavelength, which leads to the formation of color fringes or blurred images. Spherical aberration is caused by imperfectly shaped lenses, mirages are caused by light bending in hot air layers, and light scattering is caused by multiple reflections or refractions in different directions.
