Question

Which colour of light scatters more in the atmosphere?

• A. Yellow
• B. Orange
• C. Red
• D. Blue

Hint:

Rayleigh scattering is responsible for the blue color of the sky.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

According to Rayleigh scattering, shorter wavelengths of light scatter more. Since blue has a shorter wavelength than red, it scatters the most in Earth's atmosphere, making the sky appear blue.Thus, the correct answer is \( \mathbf{(D) Blue} \).
