Interpretation:
The affect that happens when the air above the surface of the lake is colder than water is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
It is based on the fact that heat always transfers from hot end to cold end.
Answer to Problem 59A
When the air above the surface of the lake is colder than water, it might appear as fog as seen in the figure given.
Explanation of Solution
As the air above the surface is colder than water, the water vapor near the surface will get condense and form fog. The heat from warmer water will be transferred to the air which increases the temperature of air. Thus it will become lighter and will rise off like fog.
When the air above the surface of the lake is colder than water, thus it appears as fog.
