Question

When light passes through a medium that consists of scatters such as water vapour, dust particles, which colour of light experiences highest scattering?

• A. $Violet$
• B. $Red$
• C. $Yellow$
• D. $Orange$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $Violet$

Violet have least wavelength among the visible light spectra.

According to Rayleigh Criterion, Scattering probability is proportional to $\frac{1}{{\lambda }^4}$.

So, violet light will be scattered the most.
