Sodium lamps are used in foggy conditions because

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Sodium lamp light emits monochromatic light i.e. it is comprised of only one wavelength (deep yellow). This colour is scattered less in the foggy condition while other light sources produce light at many different discrete wavelengths and all provide some degree of colour rendering. Also sodium lamps emit light very near to the peak sensitivity of the human eye under normal viewing conditions.
