Question : 6

In scattering of light phenomenon, light falls on tiny particles absorbed by these tiny particles. Then these particles re-emit light in all directions.

  1. Intensity of scattered light, $I ∝ 1/λ^4$
  2. Greenish-blue appearance of sea water is due to scattering of light
  3. In a clear atmosphere of the earth, red colour scatters more than blue colour.

Answer: (d)

The wavelength of the red colour is more than the blue colour. According to Reybergh's scattering formula scattering ∝ $1/4$

Thus, the light of short waves is scattered about ten times as the longer waves of red light.
