Statement-1 : On viewing the clear blue ...

Statement-1 : On viewing the clear blue portion of the sky through a Calcite Crystal, the intensity of transmitted light varies as the crystal is rotated.
Statement-2 : The light coming from the sky is polarized due to scattering of sun light by particles in the atmoshphere. The scattering is largest for blue light.

The sky appears blue due to scattering of light.

Is blue light from the sky polarised ?

Assertion : The blue colour of sky is on account of scattering of sun light. Reason : The intensity of scattered light varies inversely as the & fourth power of wavelength of the light.

Assertion (A): The blue colour of the sky is due to Ray light scattering Reason (R): As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through.

Unpolarized red light is incident on the surface of a lake at incident angle theta_R . An observer seeing the light reflected from the water surface through a polarizer notices that on rotating the polarizer, the intensity of light drops to zero at a certain orientation. The red light is replaced by unpolarized blue light. The observer sees the same effect with reflected blue light at incident angle theta_B . Then

STATEMENT -1 : Tyndall effect is due to scattering of light by particles. and STATEMENT -2 : Colloidal particles due to charge scatter the light to the maximum extent.

When a colloidal solution is viewed from the direction at right angles of light beam, the path of the beam is illuminated due to scattering of light . In the figure (A) and (B) are
