Hey guys!!
Can someone explain scattering of light!!??? Just 5 points
Answers
When energy waves (such as light, sound, and various electromagnetic waves) are caused to depart from a straight path due to imperfections in the medium, it is called scattering. Scattering is unique in that the wave energy is generally deflected in multiple directions that are difficult to predict or calculate. A great example of basic scattering is to think of the sun shining on you through a thin cover of clouds. Instead of hitting you directly, the sun's light is weakened. This is because as the sun shines through the clouds, its light is scattered and only some of it ends up striking you.
Of course, scattering is not limited to light. Scattering can happen to many types of energy waves and is more pronounced in certain media.
Heya!
Scattering of light
• The process in which, light is deviated into more paths by the smaller particles called atoms or molecules.
• Scattering of light is called as TYNDALL EFFECT
• Tyndall effect is mostly seen through the colloids.. such as, milk, blood etc.
• Colour of sky is one of the most important example of scattering!
