Question

The colour of scattered light depends upon the size of the scattering particles.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

The colour of the scattered light depends on the size of the scattering particles. Very fine particles scatter mainly blue light while particles of larger size scatter light of longer wavelengths.

If the size of the scattering particles is large enough, then, the scattered light may even appear white. In other words, scattered light will appear white because light rays of all wavelength will get scattered and together they constitute white colour.
