The deflection of light by minute particles and molecules of the atmosphere in all direction is called scattering of light.
Explanation:
1. The correct answer of the asked question is Option B.
2. The intesity of scattering depends upon two factors. These are: wavelength of the light and the other is particle size.
3. Some examples of scattering of light are the following:
• The blue appearance of the sky.
• The sun's red like appearance.
4. From the sun when white lights enters the atmosphere of our Earth, then minute particles like dust particles, gas molecules, water molecules in the air spread the incoming white light in all the directions. This is what we call scattering of light.
5. The color blue and violet has short wavelengths and hence they are scattered by small particles whereas the color red and orange having long wavelengths are scattered by large molecules or particles.
