What is scattering of light? What is different between Dispersion of light and scattering of light?
Answers
ANSWER :
Atoms or molecules which are exposed to light absorb light energy and re-emit light in different directions with different intensity.
Scattering refers to reflection of light. ... Bouncing (particularly of white light) doesn't split the constituent colours of the electromagnetic wave. On the other hand dispersion causes the light to split into its constituent colours. Pass a beam of white light through a prism and you will see VIBGYOR; that's dispersion.
I hope it may be helpful..♥️♥️
Answer :-
• Scattering of light is the phenomenon in which light rays get deviated from its straight path on striking an obstacle like dust or gas molecules, water vapours etc.
• Dispersion of light is the splitting of white light into its constituent colors due to the refractive index of the surface and the wavelength of the light.
