what is scattering of light?

Answers

Answered by Himanshukajaria

In the air, part of the sunlight is scattered. The small particles (molecules, tiny water droplets and dust particles) scatter photons the more, the shorter their wavelength is. Therefore, in the scattered light, the short wavelengths predominate, the sky appears blue, while direct sunlight is somewhat yellowish, or even reddish when the sun is very low.

Chakshu290703: That is dispersion

rdgh123: no

rdgh123: that is dispersion

rdgh123: but not scattering of light

Himanshukajaria: now it is correct

Chakshu290703: Scattering is phenomenon of absorbtion and remmission of light energy by particles

scatting is a general physical process where some from of radiation ,such as light , sound ,or moving particles ,are forced to deviate from a straight trajectory by one and more paths due to localized .........

Chakshu290703: As far as I know they dont occur due to radiations but only due to particles
