During scattering of light, the amount of scattering is inversely proportional to ..............

A

square

B

half

C

cube

D

fourth power

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Rayleigh's law of scattering of light states that the intensity of light of wavelength `lambda` present in scattered light is inversely proportional to the fourth power of `lambda` , provided the size of scattering 1 particles are much smaller than `lambda . I prop (1)/( lambda^(4))`
