What is the relation between scattering and wavelength of light? Explain. |
|
Answer» 1. Scattering is the process of absorption and then re-emission of light energy. The air molecules of size smaller than the wavelength of incident light absorb the energy of incident light and then re-emit it without change in its wavelength. 2. The intensity of scattered light is found to be inversely proportional to fourth power of wavelength of light. 3. The wavelength of violet is least and red light is most, therefore from the incident white light, violet light is scattered the most and red light is scattered the least. |
