explain scattering of light
Answers
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. Scattering of light gives rise to many spectacular phenomena such as Tyndall effect and the “red hues of sunrise and sunset”.
Explanation: Scattering of light is the phenomenon by which a beam of light is redirected in many different directions when it interacts with a particle of matter. Scattering occurs when a particle of light is fully absorbed and then emitted, while reflection is when a wave/particle is simply reflected off the surface without interacting. Refraction is the bending of light as it crosses different transparent/translucent mediums, and doesn’t experience any change except it bends. In scattering, light experiences a change in its properties. When light experiences particles on its path, it is scattered by the particles, it encounters. The intensity of the scattered light depends on the size of the particles and the wavelength of the light.
