Question

Which of the following quantities changes during the process of scattering?

• A. Speed.
• B. Wavelength.
• C. Direction of propagation.
• D. None of the above.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Direction of propagation.

After scattering, light is spread in all directions and hence the direction of propagation changes. Wavelength, speed and frequency of the light remains unchanged during the process. Also, the intensity of the light ray in a direction changes.
