Detailed Solution

The given statement is true.
Concept: In this question, we need to discuss the phenomenon of scattering of light.
As we know that light is a form of energy and it needs medium to travel. Light waves travel by reflection and deflection for the particles in the medium. This reflection and deflection depends on the type of the particles it meets in its way and their intensity to reflect the light waves.
Due to different particles with different nature, properties and intensities the light ways scatter here and there. And, this concept is called the scattering of light.
For example, when sunlight comes to the earth, It meets the atmospheric medium in between and different particles in the atmosphere reflect and deflect the light waves, due to which it gets scattered all over the Earth.
Hence, the given statement is true.
