light is scattered by air by the Tyndall's​ effect


pls mark it as the brainiest and follow me

Answer 2

Answer:

• The phenomena occurring when a ‘parallel beam of light’ passing through a particle present in the air, the particle scatters the light and illuminates it in all direction apart from its incident direction.
• The ‘atmospheric air molecules’ are smaller than the visible light wavelength range.
• The lower wavelength light like blue is ‘scattered more than’ the higher ones like red and this is the reason for the sky appearing blue.
• The sunlight falling on a particle in the air is scattered according to their wavelength and not as white light.
• This scattering of light by air is also termed as Rayleigh’s Effect.
