Answer:
Light can be examined entirely from its source. For example, the natural source of light which comes from the moon is objected from the reflection of light emitted by the sun which is due to the scattering of sunlight. When light passes from one medium to any other medium say air, glass or water then a part of the light is absorbed by particles of the medium preceded by its subsequent radiation in a particular direction. This phenomenon is termed as Scattering of light. The intensity of scattered light depends on the size of the particles and wavelength of the light.
