Question

24. Blue colour of the sky is due
to the phenomenon of:
(a) Reflection of light
(b) Refraction of light
(c) Dispersion of light
(d) Scattering of light​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

This phenomenon is called "scattering." The type of scattering responsible for blue sky is known as Rayleigh scattering. Because this effect becomes sharply more pronounced as the energy of light increases, wavelengths at the blue end of the spectrum, where energy is the highest, are scattered preferentially.

Scattering of light

• Blue light is scattered in all directions by the tiny molecules of air in Earth's atmosphere. Blue is scattered more than other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time. Also, the surface of Earth has reflected and scattered the light.
