Question
When white light is scattered by the air molecules, which color is found to be dominant in the scattered light?
- Red
- Blue
- Green
- White
Hint:
Lesser the wavelength more is the scattering
The correct answer is: Blue
The light that has the shortest wavelength will be scattered more by the dust particles hence blue light is dominant.
