Question

Light rays spread everywhere due to the irregular and repeated reflection known as:

• A. Scattering
• B. Dispersion
• C. Spectrum
• D. Refraction

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Scattering

• When energy waves (such as light, sound, and various electromagnetic waves) are caused to depart from a straight path due to imperfections in the medium, it is called scattering.
• Splitting of light into its constituent colours is known as dispersion of light.
• This happens through multiple refractions where the constituent colours of light deviate at different angles.
