Solution
When light passes from one medium to another medium then a part of the light is absorbed by particles of the medium which re-radiates light in different directions. This phenomenon is termed as a scattering of light.
Example: The blue color of the sky, the white color of clouds.
The scattering of light is inversely proportional to the fourth power of its wavelength, and the red color has the highest wavelength so its scattering is least.
