When sun light is scatterred by minute particles of atmosphere, then the intensity of light scattered away is proportional to

A

`("wavelength of light")^(4)`

B

`("frequency of light")^(4)`

C

`("wavelength of light")^(2)`

D

`("frequency of light")^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
According to Raylight scattering, the intensity of scatter light varies with forth power of `(1)/(lamda)*` i.e. it is directly proportional to fourth power of frequency of light.
