How do you appreciate the role of molecules in the atmosphere for the blue colour of the sky ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Blue colour of sky :
1) Atmosphere contains more `O_(2)` and `N_(2)` molecues and they are caused to blue colour of the sky .
2) The size of molecules of `O_(2) and N_(2)` are comparable with the blue colour and scatter blue colour only.
Role of molecules in the atmosphere in scattering :
1) Light of certain frequency falls on that atom or molecules .
2) This molecules responds to the light whenever the size of the molecules is comparable to the wavelength of light nad vibrates.
3) Due to these vibration, molecules re-emits a certain fraction of absorbed energy in all directions. The emitted light is called scattered light.
4) The atoms or molecules are called scattering centres.
5) I appreciate the role of the molecules in scattering .
