The reddish appearance of the sun during sun rise and sunset is due to |
Wavelength of red light is more and hence its scattering is more Red light has higher energy and hence reaches our eyes even after travelling long distances Due to its. longer wavelength, its scattering is least hence travels longer and reach our eyes Because it does not follow Rayleigh scattering |
Due to its. longer wavelength, its scattering is least hence travels longer and reach our eyes |
The correct answer is option (3) : Due to its. longer wavelength, its scattering is least hence travels longer and reach our eyes . At sunrise and sunset rays pass through a larger distance through atmosphere so most of blue and other shorter wavelength are removed by scattering. The least scattered light reaches our eyes. Amount of scattering $∝\frac{1}{\lambda^4}$ |
