Q.

Check the correct statements on scattering of light :

S1 : Rayleigh scattering is responsible for the bluish appearance of sky.

S2 : Rayleigh scattering is proportional to  1λ4

when the size of the scatterer is much less than  λ

S3 : Clouds having droplets of water (large scattering objects) scatter all wavelengths are almost equal and so are generally white.

S4 : The sun looks reddish at sunset and sunrise due to Rayleigh scattering.

Detailed Solution

Rayliegh scattering is 1λ4 so blue has minimum wavelengths so scattering for blue is maximum

at the time of sunrise and sunset the light travels maximum distance through the atmosphere and blue colour get scattered out and sun appears red.

all colours get scattered from cloud so it appears white.
