a composite beam of light containinig wavelengths 440nm,550nm is passed through a gas in a given direction the ratio fof intensity of scattered light of those wavelength

Solution

Intensity of the light(I) $\infty$ 1/ $λ$ ⁴
I₁ = intensity of the first light beam
I₂ = intensity of the second light beam
$λ$ ₁ = wavelength of the first light beam
$λ$ ₂ = wavelength of the second light beam

I₁/I₂ = ( $λ$ ₂/ $λ$ ₁)⁴
= (550/440)⁴
= (5/4)⁴
