Question

How does the colour of scattered light depends on the size of particles?

Answer 1

Answer:

The colour of the scattered light depends on the size of the scattering particle. Very fine particles scatter mainly blue light while particles of larger size scatter light of longer wavelengths that is. red colour. If the size of the particle is very large, the scattered light may appear white.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The molecules of air and other fine particles in the atmosphere have size smaller than the wavelength of visible light. These are more effective in scattering light of shorter wavelengths at the blue end. Whereas, larger particles scatter light of longer wavelengths at the red end.
