Frequencies of light incident on a syste...

Frequencies of light incident on a system of scattering particles are in the ratio of `1 : 2` . Then , the intensity of scattered light in a particular direction is ….

A

`1 : 4`

B

`1 : 2`

C

`1 : 8`

D

`1 : 16`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
According to Rayleigh scattering `I prop (v)^(4)`
`therefore (I_(1))/(I_(2)) = ((v_(1))/(v_(2)))^(4) = ((1)/(2))^(4) = (1)/(16)`
