Question

How is scattering of light different from dispersion ?give one example of natural phenomena based on each of these.

Answer 1

The phenomenon of splitting white light into seven colours when it passes through a glass prism is called dispression of white light .
example : Formation of ranibow

When sunlight enters the atm. of the earth , the atoms and molecules of different gases present in the atmosphere absorb this light . then thses atoms and molecules of the gases re-emit light in all directions. this process is known as the scatrring of light.
Example : sky would appear black in day time if earth had no atmosphere.

color of sky is blue

clouds are white

the diffrence is that dispersion based only white light's .
