Answer 1

The answer is A street seen through a window

Answer 2

The correct answer to the question is : A) Street is seen through a window.

EXPLANATION :

Before going to answer this question, first we have to understand transmission of light.

The transmission of light is an optical phenomenon in which the light will penetrate a substance without any absorption.

Transmission is little bit of different from refraction. It is so because refraction refers to the bending of light when light moves from one medium to another medium, and the two media have different optical densities.

As per the question, the correct answer of this question is the street seen through the wind. The light is visible to us as it is transmitted through the window, and falls on our eye.

Image seen on a lake and coin appearing to be small are not optical transmission.
