(a) Draw a neat and labelled diagram of the experimental set up for observing the scattering of light in a colloidal solution of sulphur to show how the sky appears blue, and the sun appears red at sunrise and sunset.(b) Out of blue light and red light, which one is scattered more easily?(c) Which component of sunlight is scattered away when the sun appears red at sunrise or sunset?(d) What causes the scattering of blue component of sunlight in the atmosphere?
Why does the sun appear red at sunrise?
Why does the sun appear red at sunset?
Consider the following reasons for the reddish appearance of the sun at the sunrise or the sunset :A. Light from the sun near the horizon passes through thinner layers of air.B. Light from the sun covers larger distance of the earth’s atmosphere before reaching our eyes.C. Near the horizon, most of the blue light and shorter wavelengths are scattered away by the particles.D. Light from the sun near the horizon passes through thicker layers of air.The correct reasons are(a) A and C only (b) B, C and D(c) A and B only (d) C and D only
