Detailed Solution

The complete spectrum of light may be studied. When light travels through a medium, such as air or water, some of the light is absorbed by the medium's constituent particles before it is radiated in a specific direction. The term "light scattering" refers to this phenomena. The size of the particles and the light's wavelength both affect how intensely the light is scattered.
