Susan was traveling in an airplane. She looked out of a window in the airplane and saw clouds in the sky.

Question

Why could Susan see clouds through the window of the airplane?
A.
Most of the light hitting the window was transmitted when it passed through the window.
B.
Most of the light hitting the window was reflected off of the window instead of passing through it.
C.
Most of the light hitting the window was absorbed by the window instead of passing through it.
D.
Most of the light hitting the window was refracted when it passed through the windo

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

A. Most of the light hitting the window was transmitted when it passed through the window.

This is because in order for Susan to see the clouds outside the airplane, the light must pass through the window, allowing her to see the objects outside.
