According to Rayleigh, when sunlight travels through atmosphere, the amount of scattering is proportional to \(\mathrm{n}^{\text {th }}\) power of wavelength of light. Then the value of ' \(n\) ' is
- A \(4\)
- B \(-4\)
- C \(3\)
- D \(-3\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(-4\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Rayleigh scattering: Amount of scattering \(\propto \lambda^{-4}\). Therefore, \(n = -4\).
