Explain why the colour of the sky is blue (Cyan).

Answer»

Solution :(a) As per Rayleigh.s law ( scattering `alpha1//lamba^(4)` ) , lights of shorter WAVELENGTHS are scattered more by the ATMOSPHERIC particles. This results in a dominance of bluish COLOURS in the scattered LIGHT.
(b) In the visible spectrum, violet light having its shortest wavelength, has the highest REFRACTIVE index. Hence it is deviated the most.
