• A. light is least scattered
• B. all the colours of the white light are scattered away
• C. blue colour is scattered the most

Answer 1

The correct option is A

light is least scattered

1. At noon the sun is overhead.
2. When it is overhead, it has lesser air to travel through.
3. Due to this the scattering of light from dust and other particles is reduced.
4. Most of the components in white light reach our eyes.
5. Therefore at noon sun appears white.

Hence, option (a) is correct.
