Answer Key:

  1. B

Explanation: Red colour has largest wavelength and hence the minimum frequency.

  1. A
  2. A

Explanation: The broad wavelength range of visible spectrum is 4000 Å – 8000 Å.

  1. A
  2. C
  3. B

Explanation:  

  1. A

Explanation: Red colour is at the upper end of the spectrum. It suffers least deviation.

  1. D

Explanation: Scattering of light involves change in direction of light on striking a scatterer.

  1. C

Explanation: Amplitude of scattered light,

  1. A

Explanation:

  1. C

Explanation:

  1. A

Explanation:

  1. D

Explanation: For Rayleigh elastic scattering, x << λ

  1. A

    Explanation: As wavelength λ of red colour is largest and therefore, red colour is least scattered. It enters into our eyes and the sun looks reddis

  2. C
