10 Questions
Scattered light is the light that spreads in one direction by the dust particles and molecules of the gases present in the atmosphere.
False
The scattering process of light involves a change in temperature.
False
Large objects, such as rocks, are the primary cause of scattering in the atmosphere.
False
Scattered light is also known as direct light.
False
Scattering of light occurs due to the presence of dust particles, free water molecules, and the molecules of the gases in the atmosphere.
True
Clouds allow most of the unscattered light to pass through them
False
Clouds absorb most of the sunlight that hits them
False
Clouds appear white because they absorb all wavelengths of visible sunlight
False
The scattering of light by cloud droplets is direction-specific
False
Clouds are transparent due to the lack of scattering of light
False
Learn about the scattering of light in the atmosphere, a process where light spreads in all directions due to dust particles, water molecules, and gas molecules. Understand how this process occurs without any energy gain or loss, and its relation to atmospheric conditions.
