Question

Which colour in the sunlight is least scattered by atmospheric air

Answer 1

Answer:

Violet colour is least scattered in the sunlight by atmospheric air...

Answer 2

The red colour in the sunlight is least scattered by atmospheric air.

Explanation:

• The Sunlight reaches the Earth's atmosphere and it is scattered in all directions by all the gases and particles present in the air.
• Dust, pollen, smoke and water vapour are common reasons of scattering which affects longer wavelengths than those affected by Rayleigh scattering.
• Blue colour light is scattered more than the other colors as it travels as shorter, smaller waves.
• Red colour light is scattered the least because its wavelength is large.
• Hence, the correct answer is Red.
