Concept explainers
To Explain: Whether the tiny particles scatter low
Answer to Problem 17A
High frequencies of light are scattered by tiny particles.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: Light scattering is a phenomenon in which electrons are beamed in various directions. Light is scattered when the incident rays fall on random small particles.
Explanation: The small particles of the light are inherently smaller, so it vibrates more. Hence, tiny particles scatter high frequencies.
Conclusion: High frequencies are scattered more.
