Question

Define i) scattering of light ii) atmospheric refraction

Answer 1

scattering of takes place due to the energy

Answer 2

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.

Atmospheric refraction is the deviation of light or other electromagnetic wave from a straight line as it passes through the atmosphere due to the variation in air density as a function of height. This refraction is due to the velocity of light through air, decreasing with increased density.
