3. What is meant by scattering of light? Will the laser beam be seen if it passes through a glass box which contains a lighted incense stick?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hi...

Explanation:

Scattering of light is the phenomenon in which light rays get deviated from its straight path on striking an obstacle like dust or gas molecules, water vapours etc. ... The colors we see in the sky are due to scattering of light.

Yes, the laser beam will be seen if it passes through a glass box which contains a lighted incense stick. This is because the laser beam will be scattered by the smoke particles formed in the glass box due to burning of incense stick. Due to this scattering, the path of laser beam will become visible.
