as gas molecules are very loosly packed and are moving in all directions so the fragnance of agarbatti spreads in whole room immediately as it travels at a fast speed

When an agarbatti is lit, the burning tip releases aromatic smoke containing various fragrant compounds. These compounds quickly disperse in the air within the room, carried by air currents and reaching our olfactory receptors in the nose, which detect the scent. The intensity and speed of the fragrance spreading depend on factors like air circulation, room size, and the specific composition of the agarbatti.
When aromatic oil is diffused, the molecules of the oil are dispersed into the air and carried by air currents throughout the room. Heating elements, fans, or reeds in a diffuser help to circulate the fragrance molecules, enhancing the spread of the aroma in the space.
When incense sticks are burned, the smoke released carries the fragrance molecules into the air. This smoke particles spread and diffuse throughout the room, carrying the scent along with them, allowing the fragrance to permeate the space.
The motion of smoke from a lighted agarbatti is primarily due to convection. As the incense burns, it releases hot gases that rise due to the temperature difference with the surrounding air, creating a flow that carries the smoke upwards. This convection motion helps to spread the fragrance of the incense throughout the room.
Light rays that stream through an open window into a darkened room do not spread evenly throughout the room because they follow straight paths unless they encounter an obstacle or a change in medium. The light rays will continue in straight lines until they hit a surface or are absorbed by a material, resulting in uneven distribution of light within the room.
Diffraction is the bending of light waves around obstacles. When light passes through window blinds, diffraction causes the light waves to spread out and fill the room more evenly, helping to light up the room.
