Because of the longer wave length of yellow light. Scattering of light from small particles (i.e. the sort you get in fog) is dependent on frequency. Higher frequencies are scattered more; longer wavelengths are scattered less. Putting a yellow filter on a white light eliminates the highly scattered blue and violet frequencies.

Why the vehicle moving in fog use yellow headlights?
Fog is white, so really you could use any colour headlamp instead of white and be able to see better than using the normal white headlamps. It has to do with the light bouncing around and into and through the fog. Yellow is easier to see and easier on the eyes than, say, red or blue or green. Does that help you?

Why is it hard for headlight beams to penetrate a thick fog?
Fog is in essence tiny water particles. The light goes into a straight line as long as there are no objects colliding with it. However, water not only stops the light particles, it refracts them, causing the light to go in every direction except straight ahead.

Why are infra-red raditions preferred over ordinary visible light for taking photo in fog?
The longer, stretched out waves of infra red light, unlike the short condensed waves of the visible spectrum, especially on the blue end, can more easily weave their way through the water droplets that form fog. The tighter waves of the visible spectrum present a larger front which collides with the tiny water droplets and are reflected away, so they do not penetrate. Therefore we cannot see through fog lit by "normal" light, whereas the long, stretched out infra red waves penetrate the fog more easily, enabling us to "see through" it
