Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Scattering

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{ a }{\lambda}=\frac{1}{100}\)

For reflection size of obstacle must be much larger than wavelength, for diffraction size should be order of wavelength.

Since the object is of size \(\frac{\lambda}{100}\), much smaller than wavelength, so scattering will occur.
