Check the correct statements on scattering of light S1 : Rayleigh scattering is responsible for the bluish appearance of sky S2 : Rayleigh scattering is proportional to 1//lambda^(4) when the size of the scatterer is much less than lambda S3 : Clouds having droplets of water (large scattering objects) scatter all wavelengths are almost equal and so are generally white S4 : The sun looks reddish at sunset and sunrise due to Rayleigh scattering

Assertion : A single lens produces a coloured image of an object illuminated by white light. Reason : The refractive index of material of lens is different for different wavelengths of light.
