Which of the following phenomenon is responsible for the reddish appearance of sun during sunset or sunrise ?
- A Dispersion of light
- B Total Internal Reflection
- C Scattering of light
- D Refraction through a prism
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Scattering of light
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
During sunrise and sunset, sunlight travels a longer distance through the atmosphere. Shorter blue wavelengths are scattered away by atmospheric particles, while longer red wavelengths reach our eyes, giving the sun its reddish appearance. C) Scattering of light
