how does light scatter

Solution

Dear Student,

Scattering of light is actually a defection of light from its straight path.It may occur due to the irregularities in the propagation medium, particles.We know there are a large number of small particles and molecules in our atmosphere.When light strikes these particles or molecules,it changes its path or deflects,and the scattering occurs.
