The phenomenon responsible for the blue colour of the sky
- A Reflection of light
- B Refraction of light
- C Scattering of light
- D Dispersion of light
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Scattering of light
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The phenomenon responsible for the blue color of the sky is the Scattering of light, making (C) the correct option. This happens because molecules in the atmosphere scatter shorter wavelengths (blue and violet) more strongly than longer wavelengths (red).
