THE STUDY OF OPTICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF NATURAL FOGS

Abstract

The present paper gives the data of the observation of the polarization of light scattered by fog at different angles, and the absorption of light in natural fogs. The result of observation does not coincide with the theoretical data. In order to explain the discrepancy between observation and theory the hypothesis of the presence of submicroscopic drops in fogs is proposed.
