White light becomes Red (Rayleigh Scattering in Hindi) #Shorts

Scattering OF Light

If a is the size of scatterer and lamda is the wavelength of light then Rayleigh law of scattering is valid for

(a) What is the essential condition for Rayleigh scattering ? (b) In Rayleigh scattering, how is intensity of scattered light related to wavelength of light ?

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

The intensity of scattered light I in Ray leigh scattering is proportional to ?

Assertion: Rayleigh scattering can be considered as elastic collisions of photons with massive particles. Reason: In Rayleigh scattering. The energy of incident and scattered is same.
